3. In the Assigned systems box, select one or more systems that this message filter will be distributed to.

4. Select the Include or Exclude option to define whether this is a list of message IDs that are to be sent from the message queues (Include) or if this is a list of messages that are not to be sent from the message queues (Exclude).

5. Click the Add Filter button to add message IDs to the filter. Message IDs must be no more than seven alphanumeric characters. Two wildcard characters are allowed in message IDs.

   • A period (.) can be used in a message ID as a wildcard, which indicates that any single character in that position should be considered a match.

   • If the message ID is terminated with an asterisk (*), matching will only occur on characters preceding the asterisk. Refer to these examples:

Table 1: Table: Message Filter Examples (using the "Include" option):

To forward the following messages: Enter the following in the list of message IDs:

All messages *

ABC1234 ABC1234

All messages beginning with "ABC" ABC*

Any 7-character message beginning with "ABC" and ending with "9"

ABC...9

6. Click the Save button to update the configuration.

7. Select the filter group name and click the Distribute button to send the updated configuration to the systems. The EVSBS subsystem must be running on the IBM i LPAR at the time of the distribution.
