Using SA/ZOS SETTIMER to delete timer puts no message in Netlog

Troubleshooting


Problem

When the SAzOS SETTIMER command (AOFRAATA) is used to delete a timer, SAzOS returns a message to the SETTIMER Panel (AOFKATI) but no message in the NETLOG.

Symptom

You will see the following message on panel AOFKATI if the delete is successful -
AOF116I REQUESTED TIMERS WERE DELETED
but no corresponding message is written to the NETLOG.

Cause

No message is written by design, SETTIMER is a OPERATOR function and panel.

Diagnosing The Problem

Check NETLOG and there will be no message in the NETLOG associated with the delete.

Resolving The Problem

Add the following statement to AOFEXINIT -
INGCNTL SET COMMAND_LOGGING=YES
The will cause any command action to be logged in the NETLOG including a change to timers using the SAzOS version of SETTIMER.
Ex: AOF705I userid issued command SETTIMER with DELETE ID=timerid
