14.1.9 Considerations for changing display messages for JP1 events

For easier system monitoring and event management, consider changing the format of display messages for JP1 events.

The display message change function enables you to change the display message text for JP1 events to a desired format so that you can display only the important parts of the message text during monitoring to make them more readable.

Carefully evaluate the following items of the display message change definition:

Determine which JP1 events' display messages need to be changed
Determine the parts of the original messages you want to be displayed after the change
Determine the format of the messages after the change

For details about the display message change definition file, see Display message change definition file (jcochmsg.conf) (Chapter 2. Definition Files) in the manual JP1/Integrated Management 3 - Manager Command, Definition File and API Reference.

(3) Functions that can use messages whose display messages have been changed

(1) Considerations for the display message change definition

The following table shows an example of a message for a JP1 event.

Table 14‒6: Example of a message for a JP1 event
Message type	Message contents
Message before change	`KAVS0265-E` `Job` `ended` `abnormally.` `(name:` `job-name:` `execution-ID,` `status:` `status,` `code:` `code,` `host:` `host-name,` `JOBID:` `job-number)`
Message after change	`Job:` `job-name` `ended` `abnormally` `with` `RC=code:` `Contact` `job` `supervisor` `(ext:xxxx)`

Legend:: Underline (__): Information that is inherited from the message before change.

The following figure shows an example of the definition in the display message change definition file.

To use the display message change definition shown here, copy the following code:

def display-message-change-definition-1

define enable

addflag false

cnd

B.ID IN 4107

E.SEVERITY IN Error

B.MESSAGE REGEX KAVS0265-E.*$(.+):.+$.*code:%20(.+),%20host:

end-cnd

msg Job: $EVENV1 ended abnormally with RC=$EVENV2: Contact job supervisor (Ext: xxxx)

end-def

(2) Events for which display messages can be changed

You can change display messages for JP1 events and events in the JP1/SES format. Note that display messages cannot be changed for events whose display messages have already been changed or for JP1 events whose display messages have been converted by JP1/IM - MO (the event ID in both cases is 00006400).

(3) Functions that can use messages whose display messages have been changed

The following functions can use messages whose display messages have been changed:

Automated action (inheritance to actions)

Event search (search object is the integrated monitoring database)
Command execution
