Top

Filter (FILTER)

Specifies the qualified name of the filter in which the selection entry being changed.

This is a required parameter.

Qualifier 1: Filter

name

Specify the name of the filter.

Qualifier 2: Library

*LIBL

All libraries in the job's library list are searched until the first match is found.

*CURLIB

The current library for the job is used to locate the filter. If no library is specified as the current library for the job, the QGPL library is used.

name

Specify the name of the library where the filter is located.

Sequence number (SEQNBR)

Specifies the sequence number of the alert selection entry. Selection entries are evaluated in order by sequence number.

*LAST

Allows the user to change the last selection. This entry is added automatically when the filter is created and will match any alert.

1-9999

Specify the sequence number to be used.

Selection data (SELECT)

Specifies the comparisons to be made to determine if the alert belongs in the specified group. The selection entry results in a successful match with an alert when the data in the alert satisfies the relationships specified on the SELECT parameter. Up to 10 attribute values can be compared to the alert.

Single values

*SAME

The value does not change.

*ANY

Any alert matches this selection record.

Other values (up to 10 repetitions)

Specify the conditions under which an alert matches the selection entry. Each condition must contain the following four elements:

1. One of the logical operators *IF, *AND, or *OR
2. The attribute compared
3. One of the relational operators
4. The attribute value

Element 1: Relationship

*IF

Identifies the first condition that must be satisfied.

*AND

The conditions on both sides of the *AND must be satisfied.

*OR

One of the conditions on each side of the *OR must be satisfied.

If there is one set or several sets of conditions, the *IF value must be specified as the first value in the first set of comparison values. If more than one set of conditions are specified, *AND or *OR must be specified as the first value in each set after the first. Each condition must be enclosed in parentheses. *AND is evaluated before *OR.

Element 2: Attribute

*ORIGIN

Specifies whether the alert is generated or received. The valid values for this attribute are L (Locally generated) or R (Received).

*RSCNAME

Specifies the name of the failing resource. The value for this attribute must be a 8-character name.

*RSCTYPE

Specifies the type of the failing resource. The value for this attribute must be a 3-character resource type (for example, TAP or DKT).

*HIERNAME

Specifies all of the resources in the alert resource hierarchy. The alert resource hierarchy is the list of resources, separated by blanks, displayed on the Work with Alerts (WRKALR) command detailed data displays. The value for this attribute can be a list of up to 5 resource names separated by a blank, unless the value is used with the *CT relational operator. If the *CT value is used, the selection relationship can test to see if the given resource name is found anywhere within the hierarchy. This attribute contains the resource names from the hierarchy only.

*HIERTYPE

Specifies all of the resource types in the alert resource hierarchy. The resource types match the resource names specified on the *HIERNAME attribute. The value for this attribute can be a list of up to 5 resource types 1 to 3 characters in length separated by a blank, unless the value is used with the *CT relational operator. If the *CT value is used, the selection relationship can test to see if the given resource type is found anywhere within the hierarchy.

*MSGID

Specifies the message identifier.

*MSGSEV

Specifies the message severity. This value, 00 through 99, represents the severity level of the message (99 is the highest severity level).

*ALRID

Specifies the alert identifier. The alert identifier is displayed on the Work with Alerts (WRKALR) command detailed data display. The value for this attribute must be an 8-digit hexadecimal number unless it is used with the *CT relational operator. If the *CT operator or a wildcard character is used, the attribute must have an even number of digits up to a maximum of 8. The alert ID may not be a valid comparison for iSeries alerts created after problem analysis.

*ALRTYPE

Specifies the alert type code point that is in the alert. The value for this attribute is a 2 digit hexadecimal number.

*ALRDSC

Specifies the alert description code point that is in the alert. The value for this attribute must be an 4-digit hexadecimal number unless it is used with the *CT relational operator. If the *CT operator or a wildcard character is used, the attribute must have an even number of digits up to a maximum of 4.

*PBLCSE

Specifies the probable cause code point that is in the alert. The value for this attribute must be an 4-digit hexadecimal number unless it is used with the *CT relational operator. If the *CT operator or a wildcard character is used, the attribute must have an even number of digits up to a maximum of 4.

*USRCSE

Specifies the first user cause code point that is in the alert. The value for this attribute must be an 4-digit hexadecimal number unless it is used with the *CT relational operator. If the *CT operator or a wildcard character is used, the attribute must have an even number of digits up to a maximum of 4.

*INSCSE

Specifies the first install cause code point that is in the alert. The value for this attribute must be an 4-digit hexadecimal number unless it is used with the *CT relational operator. If the *CT operator or a wildcard character is used, the attribute must have an even number of digits up to a maximum of 4.

*FLRCSE

Specifies the first failure cause code point that is in the alert. The value for this attribute must be an 4-digit hexadecimal number unless it is used with the *CT relational operator. If the *CT operator or a wildcard character is used, the attribute must have an even number of digits up to a maximum of 4.

*RSCHDW

'tttt mmm ss-sssssss'
'tttt mmm ss-sssss'
'tttt mmm sssssss'
'tttt mmm sssss'

where tttt is the machine type, mmm is the model number, and sssssssss is the serial number. Use this format to match a particular hardware resource or use a part of the hardware value with the *CT relational operator to provide a partial match.

*SNDHDW

Specifies the sending hardware resource information in the alert. This information is displayed on the Work with Alerts (WRKALR) command detailed data displays. Specify a value for this attribute using the following form:

'tttt mmm ss-sssssss'
'tttt mmm ss-sssss'
'tttt mmm sssssss'

Specify the value (a maximum of 60 characters) to be compared with the contents of the specified attribute. The value must be specified in apostrophes if it contains blanks or special characters and must be in character format. If a CL variable is specified for the value, it must be a character variable.

generic*-attribute-value

Specify the generic attribute value. A generic value is a character string of one or more characters followed by an asterisk (*); for example, ABC*. If a generic name is specified, all values that begin with the generic value are matches. If an asterisk is not included with the generic (prefix) value, the system assumes it to be the complete value. Generic attribute values are only allowed with the *EQ and *NE operator.

Group (GROUP)

Specifies the group that an alert is assigned to if the alert matches the criteria specified on the SELECT parameter.

*SAME

The value does not change.

*DEFAULT
