Can I suppress OPS/MVS product messages?

Environment

 OPS/MVS-Event Management & Automation-for JES2
 

Resolution

It is not recommended as it could have side a negative effect, but yes it is possible. As long as the message is modifiable you can change the severity level to O or J.  

J -- Informational messages. No action required. However these messages are also sent to the AOF where they are eligible to execute MSG rules.

O -- Automatable messages. No action required. However these messages are also sent to the AOF where they are eligible to execute MSG rules.

 

For example, with modifiable message OPS1181 you need to add the following code in the OPSSPAxx member.

T = OPSPRM_Set("OPS1181","J")

Then use a sample rule to suppress the message from various logs:

     )MSG OPS1181J NOOPSLOG         /* Suppress from OPSLOG */ 
     /*                   */ 
     )PROC 
     MSG.JOBLOGSUP = 1                /* Suppress from JOBLOG - JESMSGLG */ 
     MSG.WTP = 0                      /* Suppress from JESYSMSG */ 
     return "DELETE"                  /* Suppress from console and SYSLOG */
