Compatibility with MPF

Troubleshooting


Problem

AF Operator / OMEGACENTER Gateway still sees messages that were marked AUTO(NO) in MPF

Symptom

AUTO(NO) messages still trapped

Resolving The Problem

Under normal circumstances AO / OG sees and processes all messages, regardless of what you might have set in MPF (AUTO, Suppress, etc). So even with AUTO(NO) set, they are still seen.
However, the AO/OG startup parameter MPFOPTS can affect this. You can set MPFOPTS(SUPP) and MPF suppressed messages will be ignored, or MPFOPTS(AUTO), and only those messages marked for automation will be processed. But that's not the default mode of operation.

Also, with PTF UA33307 a new option has been added to the WTO trap. You can now specify on an individual trap basis whether or not you want the trap to fire if the WTO has been suppressed by MPF.

New options have been added to the TRAP ADD and TRAP CHANGE commands for WTO traps:
MPF - The Default. Trap will match regardless of the MPF suppression state of a WTO.

MPF(ONLY) - Trap will match with an MPF suppressed WTO only.

NOMPF - Trap will not match with an MPF suppressed WTO.
