The AS400UsrMsgQTest reports the number of messages that matches the defined search patterns. This page depicts the default parameters that need to be configured for the AS400UsrMsgQTest.

• The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed. 

• In the SERVERNAME text box, specify the IP Address/hostname of the AS400 server.

• In the USERID text box, enter the user name using which this test should login to the AS400 server.

• Mention the password that corresponds to the configured USERID in the PASSWORD text box.

• Confirm the PASSWORD by retyping it in the CONFIRM PASSWORD text box.

• Specify the PATH of the user queue to be monitored. If you want to monitor the default message queue for the configured user, then provide *CURRENT in the PATH text box. Please note that * is mandatory. If you would like to monitor the message queue of the specific user, you need to provide /QSYS.LIB/QUSRSYS.LIB/>>userID<<.MSGQ in the PATH, where user ID represents the ID of the user whose message queue needs to be monitored.  

• Mention the patterns of messages to be monitored by the test in SEARCH PATTERN text box. The format of your specification should be: DisplayName:Pattern .Here, DisplayName refers to the display name of the SEARCH PATTERN that will appear as the descriptor of this test in the eG monitoring console. Pattern refers to the message pattern(s) to be monitored. For example, your SEARCH PATTERN can be: RestartDM:*Restart*DM*, where RestartDM is the display name of the pattern, and *Restart*DM* monitors all messages containing the strings Restart and DM. Multiple search pattern can be provided as a comma seperated list. For example, RestartDM:*Restart*DM*,MSGWaiting:*There*is*MSGW*,DMI dle:*in*target*DM*status*IDLE*.  

• Once the necessary value has been entered, clicking on the Update button will register the changes made.

When changing default configurations of tests, the values with "$" indicate variables that will be replaced by the eG system according to the specific server being managed - for instance, $hostName is the host/nickname of the target host, $port is the port number of the server being monitored. E.g., for a server xyz:80, $hostName will be changed automatically by the eG manager to "xyz" and $port will be changed to "80" when configuring a test.
