MONITOR: Specifying which informational messages to print at the system console

Explanation: MONITOR is an optional parameter that specifies which informational messages DFSMShsm is to print at the system console, and the values DFSMShsm is to use for monitoring space in the journal and control data sets.

The subparameters of the MONITOR parameter are listed in alphabetical order and can be found at the following locations:

Subparameter	See
BACKUPCONTROLDATASET	MONITOR (BACKUPCONTROLDATASET): Monitoring the space used in the BCDS
JOURNAL	MONITOR (JOURNAL): Monitoring the space used in the journal data set
MIGRATIONCONTROLDATASET	MONITOR (MIGRATIONCONTROLDATASET): Monitoring the space used in the MCDS
OFFLINECONTROLDATASET	MONITOR (OFFLINECONTROLDATASET): Monitoring the space used in the OCDS
SPACE	MONITOR (SPACE and NOSPACE): Printing volume space-use messages
STARTUP	MONITOR (STARTUP and NOSTARTUP): Printing DFSMShsm startup informational messages
VOLUME	MONITOR (VOLUME and NOVOLUME): Printing data set messages during volume processing

SMS relationship: Parameter has the same meaning when applied to SMS-managed or non-SMS-managed DASD volumes or data sets.

SETSYS default: None.

DFSMShsm default: If you do not specify this parameter on any SETSYS command, the DFSMShsm default is 80%. No messages are printed to the console about space used during volume processing. No messages are printed to the console from DFSMShsm commands read from the ARCCMDxx parmlib member during DFSMShsm initialization.

Note: If you specify MONITOR, the specified level of activity logging controls which messages are written to the system console. For example, if you specify ACTLOGMSGLVL(EXCEPTIONONLY), DFSMShsm does not write the successful execution messages to the system console.
