Too many messages in CICS joblog

Products

• SYSVIEW Performance Management

Issue/Introduction

Every time Sysview hits a CICS threshold, a message appears in the target CICS job log. 
For example:
GSVC100W (SDCS) SYSTEM SYSTEM TRANRATE * * NORMAL WARNING
         V= 0.007 W= 0.005 P= 0.010 CHANGE 00:02:00      
         TECHCICS * * * *                                
         Desc='Number of transaction per second '        
         Policy=001E3E40                                 

This message, which consumes 5 lines, appears every two minutes.  I removed Route-Code 11 from the startup, but the messages are still being written to the CICS joblog.

We do not want to see them there, because there are too many messages. 
How can I eliminate them, but still see them in the syslog?

Resolution

If you look at the CTHRESH display out to the right there are two columns.
The Headings read as:
Msg and Log

Help for Msg states:
Specifies that a WTO message is sent to
the console when the trigger level is satisfied.

Help for Log states:
Specifies if a record is written to the
DD name GSVCXLOG when the trigger level is satisfied.

So, you want to set WTO to YES and LOG to NO for the thresholds to accomplish what it is that you want.

If you have a large number of thresholds to change the setting for you can use the FILL command.
You can see Help for the FILL command by issuing the command
HELP FILL

I.E.
On the CTHRESH display enter:
FILL LOG NO 1-9999
and it will change the YES to NO.

SAVE the change to make it persistent and save the settings to the Data Library.

Provided that you do WARM starts of SYSVIEW inside of CICS it will read the DataLib or the Persistent Data Store at CICS initialization.
