• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The job logs are getting purged using WebSphere Compute Grid
  Purge Job Utility along with the message. But customer does not
  wish to get it as they purge thousands of jobs per day and the
  message is filling their scheduler logs.
  
  Example output in the logs:
  SourceId: com.ibm.ws.batch.SchedulerSingleton
  ExtendedMessage: BBOO0222I: CWLRB5787I: Modern Batch Native
  Container job <job name> log file(s) are purged: purged by user
  request

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When removing thousands of              *
  *                      batch jobs, informational               *
  *                      messages are generated for each job.    *

  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  When removing/purging thousands of batch jobs,
  informational messages are generated for each job.  The
  customer
  would like to have the ability to disable/omit those job
  messages from the logs to reduce storage space.
  

Problem conclusion

• A Job Scheduler Custom Property
  (disable.job.log.purge.message) was added to support omitting
  the messages.  This property is set to false by default, but
  can be set to true to omit the informational messages from
  being displayed in the logs.
