About Message Learning

The message-learning facility records messages seen by EventView. The facility provides you with a list of all messages encountered during system operation. After you review the initial set of messages, you can reset the new message indicator. Then, when new software is installed, you can easily learn about the new messages.

The facility allows you to do the following:

• List all learnt messages, or all new learnt messages
• Display formatted information about listed messages
• Create a message rule from a learnt message
• Use the learnt message list as a prompt list when specifying messages for resource definitions. For more information, see the Reference Guide.

Normally, only the first message that starts with a particular word is learnt. However, since some programs issue diverse messages with the same first word, EventView allows for this possibility. EventView also allows you to learn the minor lines of a multiline message. You can enable these features by entering YES in the Learn Multiple Messages? field on the Message Details panel of a learnt message.
