I read in the MQ version 6 Systems Admin Guide that there is a way to prevent error codes from being written to the event log. This involves setting the registry key \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\IBM\MQSeries\CurrentVersion\IgnoreErrorCodes. I have created this multi-string value, set its value to AMQ9208\0\0, and rebooted. But I still get AMQ9208 in the event log. Has anyone successfully used this feature? What might I be doing wrong?
THanks
Eric. |

Not sure that it will be of any help to you, but you can also alter these fields through the explorer instead of going through the registry.
Right-click on the queue manager, go to Properties, Extended. Near the bottom you will see:
Error log size
Excluded messages
Suppressed messages
Suppressed messages interval
I haven't set these recently but I had tested this in the past and it seemed to work.
Cheers
Steve

As an update to that post, I set the "Excluded Messages" through the explorer and it did not create the same reg key that is documented in the manuals. Instead I found this:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\IBM\MQSeries\CurrentVersion\Configuration\QueueManager\<qmgr_name>\QMErrorLog
In there is a value name of "ExcludeMessages" (REG_SZ) with data of "AMQ9208".
That's not to say the manuals are wrong, perhaps that is the correct way to set it at a system level to include all queue managers?
Hope this helps

True, though AMQ9208 does seem to work. I just tested it here.

Unless that was a typo, it should be:

For example, if you want WebSphere MQ to ignore error codes AMQ3045, AMQ6055, and AMQ8079, set the value to: AMQ3045\0AMQ6055\0AMQ8079\0\0 Any changes you make to a configuration file do not take effect until the next time the queue manager is started. |

Strange... from the V6 System Admin Guide (cut and paste):
Ignoring error codes under Windows systems
On Windows systems, if an error message has a severity of ERROR, the message is written to both the WebSphere MQ error log and the Windows Application Event Log.
If you do not want certain error messages to be written to the Windows Application Event Log, you can specify the error codes that are to be ignored in the Windows registry. Use the registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\IBM\MQSeries\CurrentVersion\IgnoreErrorCodes
The value that you set it to is an array of strings delimited by the NULL character, with each string value relating to the error code that you want ignored from the error log. The complete list is terminated with a NULL character, which is of type REG_MULTI_SZ.
For example, if you want WebSphere MQ to exclude error codes AMQ3045, AMQ6055, and AMQ8079 from the Windows Application Event Log, set the value to:
AMQ3045\0AMQ6055\0AMQ8079\0\0
The list of messages you want to exclude is defined for all queue managers on the machine. Any changes you make to the configuration will not take effect until each queue manager is restarted.
Typo in the doc? |
