Option Description

MSGTABLE

Enter a 1- to 8-character name for a table name. This table name represents a group of messages that will be processed by IMS systems with similar operating characteristics.

For example for test systems, you might not want to see every DFS554 abend message for transactions that are being tested, while for production systems, you might want to see all of the DFS554 abend messages and specify an automation token that can be used by a transaction or waiting BMP to issue a /STA TRAN IMS command.

MSG ID

Enter a 1- to 8-character message ID. The ID represents a message issued by IMS that might need suppressing or some sort of action by automation.

Suppress message from:

IMS Command Control Facility can optionally prevent messages from being displayed on the IMS master terminal, the IMS Command Control Facility message log, or the IMS secondary master terminal. For each message destination, specify Y to suppress messages or N to not suppress messages.

The default is to not suppress messages.

AOITOKEN

Enter a 1- to 8-character token name that can be used by an application, either IMS transaction or BMP, needing to reference the original message to take some sort of action, either correctional or informational.
