Configuring the AS/400 Alert Filters
Default Alert Filter
The AS/400 alert adapter creates a default alert filter, QTMETECA02/QYAAFTR,
at installation time. This filter consists of a selection entry that maps all alerts to
the group QTECALERT. The corresponding action entry for QTECALERT is also
provided. When the AS/400 alert adapter is started, a data queue is created and
the QTECALERT action entry is updated with the data queue name so incoming
alert information can be monitored by the adapter.
