Limit the number of Alerts being sent from CAE

Today, we have alerts set up for -805, -904 and -913. Being able to get a -904 alert and act on it before the customer/user calls is huge. We do parse the message looking for the reason code and if it's critical, Db2 Support is paged. However, there are times when something happens, such as accidentally stopping the table space, the application has run out of space, etc, and onlines continue. We might get 4000 -904 and the only way to stop this is to logon to the CAE (web browser) and manually stop the alerts.


It would be nice to set up parameters such as what can be used for exceptions:

DB2_SQLCODE_DUPLICATES(100)

DB2_SQLCODE_DUPLICATES_TIME(120)


We need something to limit the alerts for the same message. If the same error occurs more than 100 times, stop the alert. This will allow the monitoring of alerts to continue and will not impact the company's email system.
