Reducing Log file entries

Is there a parameter or setting that you can put into the 7.5.2 environment to keep it from logging 'warnings' when a job runs?

There are some developers that run this huge job and it logs about 400MB of warnings during the run.

1. you can abort the job after 50 warnings.
2. you can disable job log monitor by setting APT_NO_JOBMON to True
3. you can select the warning and "add rule to message handler". in message handler you can supress a particular warning from appearing on the Manager Logs.

Sorry, but answers 2 and 3 don't apply to Server jobs.

Your best answer is to fix the job so that it doesn't generate any warnings. There's no reason on the planet why a Server job should generate anything but loverly little green Info messages.

Craig - I 100% agree and that is what I am pushing for.

They need to fix the job.

Yup. Only two ways to keep those warnings in check - either don't create them or abort the job after X warnings to keep them from overflowing your logs.

If neither one of those work, perhaps try setting this parameter:

APT_BAT_UPSIDE_HEAD=True

Oh, wait... Server job. Never mind.

Well designed jobs do not generate warnings unless something goes wrong (as opposed to is wrong). Tell your developers to fix the job so that it detects problems rather than generating warnings.
