You can request that the system notify operators in status displays
when the following events occur:
- Whenever a job starts and ends
- Whenever a data set is freed
- Whenever a TSO/E user starts and ends a session
Use the following keyword on the CONSOLE statement to define job,
data set, or TSO/E information:
- MONITOR
- Specifies that you want to display certain status information
Options you can specify for MONITOR are as follows:
- JOBNAMES
- Specifies that the name of the job is displayed in status display
areas whenever the job starts and stops
- STATUS
- Specifies that data set names and volume serial numbers are displayed
in status display areas whenever data sets are freed
- SESS
- Specifies that the TSO/E user identifier is displayed whenever
the TSO/E session begins and ends
With JOBNAMES or SESS, you can add a time stamp (-T).
Use of MONITOR can affect the volume of messages
that are produced and you should carefully consider which of the MONITOR
messages you need and which you do not.
You can also use the SETCON MONITOR command to enable
the production of MONITOR related messages for automation or logging
purposes. See Enabling message monitoring and the
SETCON MONITOR command of z/OS MVS System Commands.
