Lesson 6: Solve a Problem Using EasyRule

For example, you want to increase the visibility of NOT CATALOGED 2 conditions. These conditions occur when a data set cannot be cataloged because a data set with the same name already exists on another volume.

Note: Messages with an ID of IEF287I notify you of NOT CATALOGED 2 conditions, while messages with an ID of IEF285I are related normal messages that do not require action. Be aware of IEF287I messages, because they are indicative of production problems. However, the presence of IEF285I messages creates visual noise, which can make it difficult for you to see and respond to the important IEF287I messages.

You can solve the problem by performing these tasks:

• Reword the text of IEF287I messages so that they indicate the nature of the problem, and that CA OPS/MVS is taking actions to correct it.
• Highlight the reworded message text.
• Suppress IEF285I messages.

This lesson describes how you can use EasyRule to create two rules to perform these tasks.

• The first rule, named NOTCTLG, rewords and highlights IEF287I messages.
• The second rule, named MNSTATUS, not only suppresses IEF285I messages from displaying on the console, but also keeps these messages from appearing in the SYSLOG.
