The AS400UsrMsgQTest reports the number for messages that matches the defined search patterns.

The default parameters associated with this test are as follows:

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

• In the HOST text box, the host name of the server for which the test is to be configured has to be specified.

• 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*.

• If multiple components of the same component type are awaiting configuration, then an APPLY TO OTHER COMPONENTS check box will appear in this page. Clicking on this check box will allow you to apply the configuration to all/selected components of that type.

• Once the necessary values have been provided, clicking on the Update button will register the changes made.

When changing the configuration for specific servers, a “*” beside the text box corresponding to the parameter signifies that these values have to be manually configured by the user. The parameter values that require to be configured will typically be prefixed with a “$” or contain a series of “*”. A value of "none" in the parameter value indicates that the corresponding parameter value can be changed if required.
