Messages

Messages are often the first or only indication to a user that something is not working. CICSPlex SM writes error and informational messages to a variety of destinations.

  • The system console or system log
  • The CMAS or MAS job log
  • The EYULOG transient data queue
  • The SYSOUT data set
  • A CICS® terminal

Messages can be issued for many different reasons:
  • An inappropriate user action
  • Improper product installation or setup
  • An error in CICSPlex SM code
