Capture Messages Not Handled by Rules

If you want to capture certain messages missed by your resource definitions and message rules, use the Unmatched Message Alerting (UMA) feature. By capturing these messages, you can review them later to create rules for them.

To capture messages not being handled by your resource definitions and message rules

1. Enter the /PARMS panel shortcut.

   The Parameter Groups panel appears.

2. Enter F MSGAWARENESS.

   The cursor locates the MSGAWARENESS parameter group.

3. Enter U next to the group.

   The group opens for updating.

4. Specify ACTIVE in the Unmatched Message Alerting field, and customize the parameters to capture the type of messages you require.

   Unmatched Message Alerting Filter

   Press F6 (Action).

   The region starts to capture the specified messages.

5. (Optional) Press F3 (File) if you want to make the changes permanent.
