Doug,

A few of options.


1. If you have client access/operations management.  You can create a
message monitor to automatically respond to the message.
2. You can acquire a third party tool such as Robot.
3. You can write your own system monitor program.  Tough, unless your used
to passing parameters into and out of the system level messages.
4. Change your job queue defaults to eliminate unnecessary conflicts.


I would caution you.  There are very good reasons why MAPICS provides the
conflict messages.  If you by bypass them automatically, you have a
substantial chance of corrupting your database.  If you're going to do this,
I'd suggest you have good, tested backup processes in place.

Subject: Auto Replying To Message AMX0213

This question is really more AS/400 related than MAPICS related but I
thought I would try here.  We are running MAPICS XAR6 on and AS/400
several times a weeks we get message AMX0213-(MM) E AM-0213 JOB
AMC0824313 HAS CONFLICTS (1,2), sent to the QSYSOPR message queue
because someone is trying to do a cost roll while someone else is in
item master maintenance.  Almost always the conflict is only temporary
and we respond to the message with a 2.

 

We don't have a dedicated computer operator that monitors for these
types of messages.  Instead we have a program the monitor the QSYSOPR
message queue and when it finds a message the needs a reply it pages one
of the programmers.   We would like to modify this program so that if it
finds this message to automatically respond to it with a 2 instead of
paging the programmer.  I have made a few different attempts at doing
this but can't seem to get it to work.  Has anyone done this or have any
samples of how to programmatically respond to an inquiry message in a
message queue.

 

As always your help and input is greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks

Doug
