How to Use the NOOPSLOG Option

You cannot use the NOOPSLOG option to remove all message event records from the OPSLOG. For example, specifying MSG * NOOPSLOG causes AOF to ignore the NOOPSLOG option. The NOOPSLOG option is ignored if the msgidspec contains an imbedded wildcard (*) character (for example, IST*I). The NOOPSLOG option is acknowledged only for complete msgidspecs (for example, IST123I) or for a prefix msgidspec (for example, IST*).

You can monitor and control the use of the NOOPSLOG option using these methods:

• To display the current number of NOOPSLOG messages, check the value of the display-only parameter MSGNOOPSLOG.
• To tell the AOF to ignore the NOOPSLOG option, set the AOFNOOPSLOG parameter to NO. The default is YES.
• To determine whether the NOOPSLOG option has been specified in enabled rules, issue the ADDRESS AOF LIST command. For more information about the ADDRESS AOF commands, see the Command and Function Reference.

WARNING! Using the NOOPSLOG option in conjunction with a RETURN “DELETE” in the )PROC section eliminates the message from both the OPSLOG and SYSLOG.
