Issue/Introduction

When viewing Zowe component logs (such as API Mediation Layer) in the z/OS SYSLOG or console, message IDs like ZWEAM001I or ZWEAM000I may appear truncated or shifted.

Environment

Zowe 3.3.0 or higher 

Resolution

For Zowe 3.3.0 and higher

Set the sysMessageTrim parameter to true in the zowe.yaml configuration file to remove internal headers and ensure the Zowe message ID is correctly placed for z/OS automation and SYSLOG.

1. Open your zowe.yaml file.
2. Add or update the following property:

yaml

zowe:  sysMessageTrim: true

3. Restart the Zowe started task (e.g., ZWESLSTC).

With this setting enabled, the message will appear in WTO as: ZWEAM000I API Catalog Service started in 46.326 seconds
