Configuring the AS/400 Alert Filters

Default Alert Filter

The AS/400 alert adapter creates a default alert filter, QTMETECA02/QYAAFTR, at installation time. This filter consists of a selection entry that maps all alerts to the group QTECALERT. The corresponding action entry for QTECALERT is also provided. When the AS/400 alert adapter is started, a data queue is created and the QTECALERT action entry is updated with the data queue name so incoming alert information can be monitored by the adapter.
