Message Description

All messages handled by rules comprising the LOGREC solutions.

Basic Scheduling Parameters

Always schedule this rule.

Runtime Scheduling Parameters

No special considerations

Global Variables

None.

Rule Logic

To avoid message overload situations, this rule deactivates LOGREC rules whose messages have exceeded a predetermined number of appearances in a period of time.

These threshold values are defined for every message included in this rule in the threshold parameters APPEARED ### TIMES IN #### MINUTES.

To synchronize threshold handling correctly, this rule is assigned a higher PRIORITY value than the message rules that it monitors, and has a CONTINUE SEARCH value of Y (Yes).

Deactivation of a LOGREC rule is achieved by adding the appropriate (inverse) IN prerequisite condition that is defined for the rule.

To reactivate a deactivated rule, the threshold conditions must be deleted. This can be done either manually or automatically by Control-O (see the following section).

Threshold conditions are specified in the IGNORE list of the Control-M CONTDAY procedure (see SolveWare Implementation Considerations).

Rule Actions

• Notifies user U-SYSADMIN that the message that exceeded its threshold is no longer handled by Control-O.
• Sets the appropriate IN condition to deactivate the rule. The format of this condition is:
  CTO-msgid-THRESH
  where msgid is the message ID of the specific message.

Activating the Rule

Once scheduled, the rule is triggered whenever one of the above messages exceeds its threshold.

Recommended Mode or Category

During the testing period, activate the rule in LOG mode. Once you are satisfied with the results of the rule, change the mode to PROD to avoid log messages for this rule.

The SolveWare category for this rule is 2—some customization is required before implementation.

Customization

Review each LOGREC message monitored by this rule and determine appropriate threshold values.

For each message included in this rule, adapt to site requirements APPEARED ### TIMES IN #### MINUTES values, which specify a number of appearances in a time period.

Resetting LOGREC Rule Threshold Conditions

Table

LOGREC

Event

RESLOGRC

Event Description

This Event rule deletes all threshold conditions for all LOGREC rules.

Basic Scheduling Parameters

Always schedule this rule.

Runtime Scheduling Parameters

No special considerations

Global Variables

None.

Rule Logic

Using the INTERVAL parameter, this rule periodically deletes the threshold conditions of all LOGREC rules, to reactivate LOGREC rules that exceeded their thresholds. For more information about the resetting of threshold conditions, see Customization in this table.

Rule Actions

• Deletes condition or date CTO-IFB030I-THRESH STAT
• Deletes condition or date CTO-IFB040I-THRESH STAT
• Deletes condition or date CTO-IFB050I-THRESH STAT
• Deletes condition or date CTO-IFB060E-THRESH STAT
• Deletes condition or date CTO-IFB070I-THRESH STAT

Activating the Rule

Once scheduled, the rule is triggered periodically according to the INTERVAL parameter specification.

Recommended Mode or Category

During the testing period, activate the rule in LOG mode. Once you are satisfied with the results of the rule, change the mode to PROD to avoid log messages for this rule.

The SolveWare category for this rule is 2—some customization is required before implementation.

Customization

Adapt the INTERVAL parameter to site requirements:

If you use the INTERVAL parameter without the TIME FROM parameter, the threshold conditions are deleted when the rule is ordered.

Note: Threshold conditions are also deleted at time of IPL. For more information, see the section on initializing SolveWare in Chapter 2, "STARTSYS."

Threshold conditions are specified in the IGNORE list of the Control-M CONTDAY procedure. For details, see SolveWare Initialization.
