3.8 Changing the message display format
If you use the integrated monitoring database, you can use the display message change function. This function changes JP1 event messages to a predefined message display format. The function enables you to change JP1 event messages into a more readable format when they are displayed in JP1/IM - View's event list and the Event Details window. After you have changed messages, you can use the following functions to specify and monitor those messages:
-
Inheritance to actions
-
View filter
-
Event search (when the search object is the integrated monitoring database)
-
Event details
-
Output of event report
For example, the operator can view and filter messages displayed in JP1/IM - View or, when using the email notification function to send email, insert the message text into the subject line or body of an email message.
The event inheritance information conversion function enables you to acquire readable event inheritance information by converting the lengths of message texts and numeric values to specified formats.

The display messages cannot be changed for events that occur after display messages have been changed or for JP1 events (event ID is 00006400) that have been converted by JP1/IM - MO.
You must enable the integrated monitoring database to use the display message change function. Note that the display message change function cannot be used if the IM database has not been updated after upgrading a version 10-50 or earlier. For details, see 4.14 Setting the display message change function in the JP1/Integrated Management - Manager Configuration Guide.
You can use the display message change function in the Display Message Change Definitions window. For details about the Display Message Change Definitions window, see 2.23 Display Message Change Definition Settings window (Add Display Message Change Definition Settings window) in the manual JP1/Integrated Management - Manager GUI Reference.
You can also use the display message change definition file (jcochmsg.conf) to configure the display message change function. The display message change definition file (jcochmsg.conf) defines conditions for changing the messages to be displayed for JP1 events and the new messages that are to be displayed. For details, see Display message change definition file (jcochmsg.conf) in Chapter 2. Definition Files in the manual JP1/Integrated Management - Manager Command and Definition File Reference.
