2.15 Common Exclusion-Conditions Settings window

The Common Exclusion-Conditions Settings window is used to set the event acquisition filter conditions (the conditions for acquiring events from the event service).

Any of the following operations displays the Common Exclusion-Conditions Settings window:

In the System Environment Settings window, the user selects an item from the Common exclusion-conditions groups list, and then clicks the Configure button.

In the Event Acquisition Conditions List window, the user clicks the Add button in the Common exclusion-conditions groups area.

In the Event Acquisition Conditions List window, the user selects an item from the Common exclusion-conditions groups list, and then clicks the Edit button.

Note that the user must have JP1_Console_Admin permission to display the System Environment Settings window.

When the user specifies common exclusion conditions and then clicks the OK button in this window, the specified conditions are converted into a filter condition statement. The statement takes effect when the Apply button is clicked in the System Environment Settings window. The maximum length of the common exclusion-conditions group is 64 KB. If the exclusion condition statement is longer than the maximum length, an error dialog box displaying the message KAVB0246-E appears when the OK button is clicked. If the error dialog box appears, the filter condition settings must be reviewed. For details about how to estimate the length of a filter condition statement, see the Release Notes for JP1/IM - View.

When no conditions (items under Conditions) have been specified for the common exclusion-conditions group set in this window, if the common exclusion-conditions group is applied, no JP1 events will be displayed (acquired). At least one condition must be specified in order to filter events.

The following figure shows an example of the Common Exclusion-Conditions Settings window.

The following describes the items displayed in the Common Exclusion-Conditions Settings window.

Common exclusion-conditions group ID

This drop-down list is used to select a common exclusion-conditions group ID.

If a new common exclusion-condition is being added, an unused filter ID in the common exclusion-condition group list is automatically assigned in ascending order.

If the window has been displayed for the purpose of editing the common exclusion-condition selected in the common exclusion-condition group list, the common exclusion-condition group ID is displayed in this text box.

Common exclusion-conditions group name

Specifies the name of a common exclusion-conditions group.

If the user selects an existing common exclusion-conditions group and specifies a new name, the name of the common exclusion-conditions group is replaced with the new name.

If the user attempts to specify an existing common exclusion-conditions group name, a message dialog box displaying the following message appears:

KAVB0256-E The specified condition group name already exists.

Clear

Clicking this button clears all condition settings displayed under Conditions.

Read From Selected Event

Clicking this button applies the attribute values of the JP1 event selected in the Event Console window to the corresponding items under Conditions. The following describes how the attribute values are applied:

When an event attribute value includes a control character (such as a linefeed or tab character)
The part before the first control character is applied. If an option condition can be specified for the event attribute, First characters is selected.

When an event attribute value does not include a control character
The entire event attribute value is applied. If an option condition can be specified for the event attribute, Match is selected.

If the information of the selected JP1 event is mapped in the Event-Information Mapping Definitions window, the attribute values for the display items and program-specific extended attribute values that have been mapped are not applied. For details about the Event-Information Mapping Definitions window, see 5.1.3 Displaying extended attributes of JP1 events in the Job Management Partner 1/Integrated Management - Manager Administration Guide.
