Message Monitor Replacement Variables
Content
You are in: IBM i Technology Updates > IBM Navigator for i > Enhancements list > System Monitors > Message Monitor Replacement Variables
Message Monitor Replacement Variables:
Replacement variables are available to customize your actions to the specific metric and values
These replacement variables can be used on the IBM i trigger command. For example, rather than just
| SNDMSG MSG(“message mon”) TOUSR(*SYSOPR) |
You can use replacement variable:
| SNDMSG MSG('Monitor &MON triggered, ID= &MSGID.') TOUSR(*SYSOPR) |
Message Monitor Command Substitution Parameter Description & Lengths:
|
Parameter Length &DATE Date, length depends on format
The format and length for the date parameter (&DATE) depends on the system values QDATFMT & QDATSEP.
In most cases, the length of the variable &DATE will be 8.
For example:
If QDATFMT = MDY and QDATSEP is '/', the format will be MM/DD/YY (length=8)
If QDATFMT = DMY and QDATSEP is '-', the format will be DD-MM-YY (length=8)
A special case is when QDATFMT = JUL and QDATSEP='/'.
In this situation &DATE format will be YY/DDD (length = 6)
&MON Monitor name (variable length 1-64). &TIME Time (length 6) HHMMSS. &ENDPOINT Endpoint system name (variable length 1-256). &EVENTTYPE Event type and defined as follows: (length 1) Triggered With Command Event = 1 Triggered Without Command Event = 2 Manual Reset With Command Event = 3 Manual Reset Without Command Event = 4 Automatic Reset Event = 5 &MSGTEXT Provides the text from the message *in release 7.3 and on added in new Navigator for i with 3/1/2022 PTFs &FRMJOBNUMBER From job number for the message causing the trigger (length 6). &FRMJOBNAME From job name for the message causing the trigger (variable length 1-10). &FRMPROGRAM From program for the message causing the trigger (variable length 1-10). &FRMUSER From job user for the message causing the trigger (variable length 1-10). &MSGKEY Message key hex value (4-byte binary) identifying the message causing the trigger. &MSGKEYCH Message key hex value (4-byte character array) identifying the message causing the trigger.
&MSGID Message ID causing the trigger (length 7). &MSGSEV Message severity causing the trigger (length 1-2). &MSGTYPE Message type causing the trigger (length 2). &MSGCOUNT Current message count that caused the trigger (length 1-3). &OWNER Monitor owner (length 1-10) &THRESHOLD Threshold number causing the trigger (length 1-3). &TOLIB Message queue's library to which this message was sent (the library of the queue being monitored), (length 1-10). &TOMSGQ Message queue name to which this message was sent (the queue being monitored), (length 1-10). |
Notes:
There are no valid substitution values for these parameters if they are in the reset commands:
