Adding Thresholds

Message thresholds are triggering devices that alert operations personnel to take action when a certain number of messages are generated over a certain period of time. Message thresholding allows for escalation of message priority or criticality. A system message may be of little concern when it occurs in small numbers over long time intervals. However, an increase of message occurrences over shorter time intervals may indicate more serious problems with the system. Message thresholding sends a new message to be sent when a threshold is reached. The new message may be higher in priority and have a different destination set than the original message.

This procedure adds a new threshold and thresholding message ID pair to the current list of thresholds for the current system message.

To add a message threshold:

1Start at the System Message Display window (Figure 47 on page 69) for a given message, and press F8 (Chg-Keys).

The system displays the alternate set of function keys.
