User Defined Message File
Each message in a Log Display window can be linked by a keyword to a User
Defined Message (UDM). UDMs are defined in the UDM file, and each consists of
a keyword and up to 250 message lines. To open the User Defined Messages file
for viewing or modification, use the Master Window's Administration—
Configuration-User Messages menu option.
When a message in a Log display window is double-clicked, the UDM file
keywords are processed against the message. For the first UDM entry with its
keyword matching a string in the double-clicked message, its message is
displayed in a pop-up window. If no UDM keyword match is found, the message
“No User-Defined-Message is defined” is displayed in a pop-up window.
An entry in the UDM file is either a keyword or a message line. The following is
the format of a UDM entry:
Keyword
Field 1 2
Columns 1 2-9
Contains 0 Keyword text
Field 1. Each keyword line is represented by the number 0.
Field 2. Eight character keyword. This is the text for matching a message in a
log display window. It can be message ids or general text.
Message
Field 1 2
Columns 1 2-133
Contains 1 Message text
Field 1. Each message line is represented by the number 1.
Field 2. 132 character message line. A maximum of 250 message lines are
permitted per UDM.
