Automating a console session in Automation Point without including it in the Merged Msg window

Products

• Automation Point

Issue/Introduction

Automate a specific console session in Automation Point, but messages from this session shouldn't appear in the Merged Message window.

Resolution

To exclude a console session from the Merged Msg window while maintaining active automation for that session, the SUPPRESS keyword can be used within a specific message rule. This effectively hides the session's messages from the centralized window without disabling the automation logic.

Steps:

1. Open the Message Rule definition for the console session which should be excluded.
2. In the rule definition, set the MSGID parameter to * to capture all messages.
3. In the SESSION field, specify the exact name of the console session.
4. Add the SUPPRESS keyword to the rule.

Example Configuration: MSGID(*) SESSION(your_session_name) SUPPRESS

Additional Information

Once this rule is active, Automation Point will process the messages from the specified session based on the automation logic, but the messages will no longer be forwarded to the Merged Msg window.
