Event-filtering exit

The event-filtering exit is called when an HCL Workload Automation for Z event writer is about to write an event to the event data set or, where EWSEQNO is used, add the event to an XCF or NCF queue. In this exit, you can choose to discard events created by JES and SMF exits, or you can indicate that an event that would normally be queued to JCC is not processed by the JCC.

EQQUX004 is commonly used to filter the events created by nonproduction work. If you run a significant number of test jobs and other work, and your job naming standards let you do so, consider using EQQUX004 to filter the nonproduction work.

The SEQQSAMP member, EQQUX004, contains a sample event-filtering exit that includes or excludes events based on the job name.
