Synchronous WTOR Processing

Description: There are two enhancements available for synchronous WTOR processing using the disabled consoles communication facility synchronous WTOR:
  1. The first is designed to extend the Timed Auto Reply function introduced in z/OS® V1.12 to allow it to respond to WTORs displayed through synchronous WTOR.
  2. The second is intended to notify all locally attached MCS consoles about the current destination of a WTOR displayed by synchronous WTOR, in order to make it easier and faster to locate the console on which the response may be entered.

These changes are expected to make it easier to automate responses to critical WTORs and to help you respond to unautomated WTORs displayed through synchronous WTORs more quickly.

When change was introduced: z/OS V2R1.
