Excessive timeout messages in Audit Log and STDERR file in 12.1 Web Viewer

Products

• Output Management Web Viewer

Issue/Introduction

We're seeing an excessive number of messages being generated to the Web Viewer Audit Log and the STDERR DD output. We've been able to stem the generation of the 'timeout' messages to the online Audit Log (by turning off the "User logged in time" setting in the Preferences (Auditing Settings). However, we are still seeing an excessive accumulation of lines in the STDERR output. This can slow performance and deny users ability to sign-in to Web Viewer.

Is there any way to suppress the generation of lines to STDERR?
