RE: Is there a way to delete a specific message from QSYSOPR ? Tr ying again :-)

[Jeff Bull <Jeff.Bull@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Check,
        I have a utility (written in CL) that I have plugged into the
scheduler, it runs once an hour through the day, that processes the QSYSOPR
message queue, deleting unwanted/routine messages by MsgId.  Provided the
MsgId is always the same, and there are not others with the same MsgId that
you want to keep ... CLNMSGQ may be what your after, if you're interested.

Kind regards,

Trying again :-)


Hi Folks,

 

I have an application that monitors QSYSOPR for a certain condition (the
failure of our fax server) and then emails certain folks if there is a
problem. This is scheduled through Robot and runs every 15 minutes. Problem
is, if it fails during the night, the first email alert is sent and then
every 15 minutes it finds the same, unanswered or undeleted, error message
on QSYSOPR and sends another one. I did have this checking every 5 minutes
and that yielded a TON of emails. We know what the problem is, network
congestion and it times out (we are working on this) and the server attempts
to reboot and reload itself. This doesn't happen a lot, but I would like to
be able to delete the one message since folks that are responsible for this
get an email and should act on it during normal hours or will get to it when
they get the email in the morning.

 

Thanks !

 

Chuck
