PH39946: Liberty logging hideMessage= parameter should also stop messages being written to messageLogDD=MSGLOG

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The current capability provided by Liberty logging
  hideMessage= allows a message being written to messages.log
  file to be suppressed and written to trace.log file instead.
  When zoslogging messageLogDD=MSGLOG is in use, any messages
  written to messages.log are also written to DD MSGLOG.
  Coding hideMessage= stops the message being written to
  message.log but the message is still written to DD MSGLOG.
  If it is suppressed from message.log it should also be
  suppressed from DD MSGLOG.

  ****************************************************************
  Liberty messages specified on hideMessage= are being written to
  the DD specified on messageLogDD= because the
  message log log handler does not check messages against what was
  specified on hideMessage=.
  
  The following requests that CWWKF0012I be hidden.
  <logging hideMessage="CWWKF0012I" />

• Updated the message log, hardcopy and WTO log handlers to not
  write messages specified on hideMessage=.
