RE: Stop writing to history log

Hi Scott,

I had a look at this possibility a few years ago (at v4r3 as I recall) ...
and not with any success I'm afraid.

I found a utility to selectively clear the garbage out of QSYSOPR, but not
QHST.

 I agree with you that a large number of entries in QHST are very often a
waste of disk space.

If you are listening IBM, what would be really nice is a new attribute on a
messge enabling selective suppression of such entries ... then I woke up and
I'd been dreaming.  An alternative would be a change to the DSPLOG command
that enabled selection/exclusion on the message severity - it would then be
possible to suppress the display of all messages of, for example, less than
severity 10.  

The "wasted disk space" issue is, I'm sure a no brainer; regular
housekeeping of the history log files will minimise the waste on most
systems.

Good luck to you Scott; if you come across a solution off-list - keep us
posted.

Kind regards,

Subject: Stop writing to history log


How can I stop a specific CPF messgae writing to the
history log. It's an APPN job which has a 0 severity
and writes every 60 seconds or so.

Thanks
