Message_Consoles

There are four Systems consoles that can be assigned using the Message_Consoles statement. No messages are sent for consoles that are not assigned to a user ID. For example, the Operations console would typically be assigned to OPERATOR, but messages will not be sent to the OPERATOR user ID if it is not associated with the Operations ID in the Message_Consoles statement. The message consoles are:

Administration
Receives all messages. The intention is to provide a console, other than the TxTMM console, where most of the messages Tape Manager issues can be collected and observed. However, given that the ADMINISTRATION ID receives a lot of messages, it does not necessarily need to be associated with the ID of a system administrator.

If you are using a solution, such as IBM Operations Manager for z/VM, to monitor the Tape Manager service machines for relevant messages or errors, you may choose to omit this entry completely or leave the value blank.

Operations
Receives limited, but significant, messages, including device messages, system error messages, and mount messages.
Primary_Mount
Receives tape mount-related messages.
Secondary_Mount
Receives tape mount-related messages.

At least one of the messages consoles must be defined. The operations console will be associated with the OPERATOR user ID until the configuration statement has been processed. Any error messages that occur before the statement is processed will be sent to the OPERATOR user ID.
