zOS Guardium STAP ADHLOG Messages: ADHGSTRS-- Sending ADH_AUDIT_EVENT_STATEMENT_TXT_TRUNCATED

Troubleshooting


Problem

Every few minutes you are seeing messages in the ADHLOG log "ADHGSTRS-- Sending ADH_AUDIT_EVENT_STATEMENT_TXT_TRUNCATED". 
 

Cause

APAR PH26359 has been opened to address this issue. 

Environment

This problem has been seen after applying UI66121 for Guardium zOS S-TAP v 10.1.3.  

Diagnosing The Problem

The messages "ADHGSTRS-- Sending ADH_AUDIT_EVENT_STATEMENT_TXT_TRUNCATED" are informative. They indicate that the S-TAP collected some long SQL statements, and the long statement texts have been truncated before being sent to the appliance. As a result, the statements will be truncated in the Guardium UI report. Other than that, these messages do not cause any problem. Statement text is truncated if it is:
• Dynamic SQL text more than 2 million bytes
or
• Static SQL text more than to 4000 bytes

Resolving The Problem

To turn off this message, you can set message log level to W (warnings and higher).  Note:  this will also turn off other informational messages.

The syntax is:  MESSAGE_LOG_LEVEL(W).
 
 After making the parameter change in the configuration file for each S-TAP collector task and restarting all of the tasks, you should no longer see these messages.
