II07592: REMOVE UNWANTED MESSAGES FROM SYSLOG AND/OR JESLOG.

APAR status

• Closed as canceled.

Error description

• Msgs ELR1515I and ELR1516I appear on the MVS console as
  highlighted non-deletable messages every time an operator
  signs on to  an HPTS workstation.  It is not felt that such
  notification is noteworthy to the MVS console operators!
  Though all ELR* messages can be filtered to no longer appear
  on the console, there is fear that a useful important message
  will be missed.

Problem summary

Problem conclusion

• Remove unwanted messages from SYSLOG and/or JESLOG.
  .
  Statement of support for this informational APAR:
  To assist the users in removing unwanted messages
  from SYSLOG and/or JESLOG, the following instructions
  and the sample exit are provided. This sample is tested
  at one installation under one set of conditions.
  The user assumes responsibility of making any changes
  to fit his installation. This solution may not be the best
  solution available and it may not be possible to tailor
  this to a specific installation needs. IBM provides no
  warranty of any kind for the provided sample.
  Use of this sample to remove unwanted messages may cause
  future problems for the people supporting the
  products whose messages are removed (especially if JESLOG
  and SYSLOG are the only places the messages are written
  for that product). So use of any techniques to remove
  messages including this sample, is not recommended by IBM.
  
  Instructions to use this sample:
  1. Determine if the messages need to be removed from
  JESLOG and/or SYSLOG and comment out the appropriate
  lines of code in the following sample exit ELRHMPFE.
  2. Assemble and linkedit the user exit into an appropriate
  system library.
  3. Specify the user exit name in SYS1.PARMLIB member MPFLSTXX
  Example: To delete all messages starting with ELR an entry
  can be made as follows in MPFLSTXX:
  ELR*,SUP(NO),USEREXIT(ELRHMPFE)
  
  ***THE FOLLOWING IS THE SAMPLE USER EXIT PROGRAM ELRHMPFE ***
  
  
  ELRHMPFE TITLE 'REMOVE MESSAGES FROM CONSOLE, SYSLOG AND JOBLOG'
  
  **==============================================================
  *
  * THIS EXIT (ELRHMPFE) IS USED TO ALTER MPF PROCESSING TO INSURE
  * THAT MESSAGES DEEMED UNNECESSARY MAY BE SUPPRESSED.
  *
  * THIS MODULE MUST BE LINKED AS REENTRANT AND REUSEABLE IN A
  * LNKLST LIBRARY.
  *
  * THIS EXIT IS ENABLED IN MEMBER "MPFLSTXX" OF SYS1.PARMLIB
  * BY ADDING THE FOLLOWING LINE :
  *
  *     XXXXXXX,SUP(NO),USEREXIT(ELRHMPFE)
  *
  *     XXXXXXX = THE MESSAGE NUMBER TO PROCESS
