Workspace Db2 Analytics Accelerator for z/OS

RELATED IDEAS

filter specific IDAA messages from being delivered to DB2.

All IDAA messages, once delivered to DB2, are wrapped in a DSNX881I message ID and displayed within DB2 and on the z/OS logs. In our case there was a VERY lengthy message of type /W3005/ which is delivered to us no less than 15 times a day for each of our accelerators (we have 8). We have automation that intercepts every DSNX881I message and sends it via email to the team responsible for IDAA support. Sometimes these messages have to do with tables that have gone into an error state for replication, or they may have to do with high replication latency. We find THESE messages very important, and we take action when we see them. However the /W3005/ message is useless for us. We have been advised in IBM case TS013890749 that we can ignore this message. But this message will still appear in DB2 and in our logs. It is very lengthy and it generates a lot of 'noise' in the logs. We would much prefer to not receive such messages rather than to customize our automation to send SOME messages in DSNX881I but not send others. Can a means be developed to prevent specific messages from being delivered to DB2?

    Hi KC,

    IDAA Team decided to remove the W3005 not only based on IDEA but also based on our analysis for what’s needed and good for the product and for all of the customers. The comment was written to make you aware about the decision since you mentioned it in your Idea.

    For the second part with option to filter messages to be delivered , we are not considering this for the moment and we will update the status if we are going to consider it. Thanks for reaching out and please feel free to open other Ideas whenever needed.

    The aha was to create a method by which WE can decide which messages are relevant to us and which are not.

    In this case W3005 was unimportant to us, but we did not want to make that decision for all users. Removing a specific message from the product was NOT what we intended. Rather we just wanted a way to configure which messages would be delivered to DB2.

    I don���t know what form this would take, but it should be something that can be changed after software installation, and HOPEFULLY without requiring a stop/start of the product.

    We would like to know if there are any specific DSNX881I messages you think it does not make sense to be logged ?
