REV MESSAGE can 'listen' to the JDE Job Logs on the ERP Server(s).

The 'listening' can be performed:

• In Real time – i.e. as they arrive in the log,
• Historically – after the fact and can be done on any Server type – e.g. LINUX Logs on WINDOWS.

As Log Entries are detected/read they are checked against pre-defined Rules to exclude any non-critical Log Entries – so ONLY critical Log Entries and processed.

The raw JDE job log could be like:

As REV MESSAGE 'listens' to the logs it will translate the Log Entries and then check them against the E1 exclusion rules:

There are also Message Text Rules for exclusion:

As we can see in the example of the JDE job log above:

• Log entry 1:
  process 14624 registered in entry 42:
  would be excluded from processing due to the Exclusion Rule entry Sequence 10 as 'process' is detected in the 1^st characters of the Log entry.
   
• Log entry 2:
  Starting Kernel of Type:SECURITY KERNEL:
  would be excluded from processing due to the Exclusion Rule entry Sequence 20 as 'Starting' is detected in the 1^st 8 characters of the Log entry.
   
• Log entrie 3-5:
  KERNEL RECYCLING: This kernel will start recycling at Sun Feb 05 03:30 (using time of day of Sun:03:30)
  KERNEL RECYCLING: Kernel PID (14624) will consider users inactive after 360 minutes (using inactive-user elapsed time of 6:00
  KERNEL RECYCLING: Kernel PID (14624) will do a forced exit at Sun Feb 05 15:30 (using forced-exit elapsed time of 12:00)
  would be excluded from processing due to the Exclusion Rule entry Sequence 280 as 'KERNEL RECYCLING' is detected in the 1^st 20 characters of the Log entry.
   
• Log entry 6:
  INITIALIZING SECURITY SERVER KERNEL
  would be excluded from processing due to the Exclusion Rule entry Sequence 40 as 'INITIALIZING' is detected in the 1^st 12 characters of the Log entry.
   
• Log entry 7:
  LIB0000630 - Error - output buffer too short to hold decrypted text string
  would be sent for processing as it does not meet any current Exclusion rules.
   
• Log entry 8:
  LIB0000569 - WARNING!!! [SECURITY][Password] Password not encrypted in the INI
  would be excluded from processing due to the Exclusion Rule entry Sequence 50 as 'LIB0000569' is detected in the 1^st 10 characters of the Log entry.

We are only wanting to process critical messages such as:

These will then sent to REV MESSAGE for processing.
