Ignoring error codes under Windows systems

 

On Windows systems, if an error message has a severity of ERROR, the message is written to both the WebSphere MQ error log and the Windows Application Event Log.

If you do not want certain error messages to be written to the Windows Application Event Log, we can specify the error codes that are to be ignored in the Windows registry. Use the registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\IBM\MQSeries\CurrentVersion\IgnoredErrorCodes

The value that you set it to is an array of strings delimited by the NULL character, with each string value relating to the error code that you want ignored from the error log. The complete list is terminated with a NULL character, which is of type REG_MULTI_SZ.

For example, if you want WebSphere MQ to exclude error codes AMQ3045, AMQ6055, and AMQ8079 from the Windows Application Event Log, set the value to:

AMQ3045\0AMQ6055\0AMQ8079\0\0

The list of messages you want to exclude is defined for all queue managers on the machine. Any changes you make to the configuration will not take effect until each queue manager is restarted.
