DISABLE EVENTS (Disable Events for Event Logging)

Use this command to disable the processing of one or more events to one or more receivers (destinations).

If you enter any invalid events, receivers, node or server names, TSM issues an error message. However, TSM disables any valid events, receivers, node or server names that were specified.

Notes:

  1. Messages in the SEVERE category and message ANR9999D can provide valuable diagnostic information if there is a serious TSM problem. For this reason, you should not disable these messages.

  2. Certain messages are displayed on the console even if they are disabled. These include some messages issued during server startup and shutdown and responses to administrative commands.

  3. Server messages, which originated on the server from which this command was issued, cannot be disabled for the activity log.

Privilege Class

To issue this command, you must have system privilege.

Parameters

receivers (Required)
Specifies the name of one or more receivers for which to disable events. You can specify multiple receivers by separating them with commas and no intervening spaces. Possible values are:

ALL
Specifies all receivers, except for server events on the activity log receiver (ACTLOG). Only client events can be disabled for the activity log receiver.

CONSOLE
Specifies the standard server console as a receiver.

ACTLOG
Specifies the TSM activity log as a receiver. Only client events can be disabled for this receiver. Server events cannot be disabled for the activity log.

EVENTSERVER
Specifies the event server as a receiver.

FILE
Specifies a user file as a receiver. Each logged event is a record in the file and a person cannot read each logged event easily.

FILETEXT
Specifies a user file as a receiver. Each logged event is a fixed-size, readable line.

NETVIEW
Specifies the NetView for MVS network observation tool as a receiver.

TIVOLI
Specifies the Tivoli Management Environment (TME) as a receiver.

USEREXIT
Specifies a user-written program to which TSM writes information as a receiver.

events (Required)
Specifies the names of events to be disabled. You can specify multiple events by separating them with commas and no intervening spaces. Valid values are ALL, a message name, or a severity category.

ALL
Specifies all events.

eventname
Specifies a four-digit message number preceded by ANR for a server event or ANE for a client event. The NODENAMES parameter is required if client events are to be disabled for matching nodes. The SERVERNAME parameter is required if server events are to be disabled for matching servers. Valid ranges are from ANR0001 to ANR9999 and from ANE4000 to ANE4999.

severity categories
If the event list contains a severity category, all events of that severity are disabled for the specified nodes. The message types are:

INFO
Information messages (type of I).

WARNING
Warning messages (type of W).

ERROR
Error messages (type of E).

SEVERE
Severe error messages (type of S).

NODEname
Specifies the name of one or more node names for which events are to be disabled. You can use the wildcard character to specify all nodes. You can specify NODENAME or SERVERNAME. If neither parameter is specified, the events are disabled for the server running this command.

SERVername
Specifies the name of one or more server names for which events are to be disabled. You can use the wildcard character to specify all servers other than the server running this command. You can specify NODENAME or SERVERNAME. If neither parameter is specified, the events are disabled for the server running this command.

Examples

Task
