Error description

  • The IBM supplied props.conf used for Splunk ingestion
    may truncate MESSAGEID
    values when they contain special characters. This occurs because
    the default regular expression relies on \w, which matches only
    alphanumeric characters and underscores. The APAR updates the
    regex to correctly capture full MESSAGEID fields, including
    those with special characters, preventing loss of diagnostic
    information during parsing.
