How to Display Messages for a Specific System or Operator Console

You can choose to receive all messages for a specific target system operator console using the Processor Operations Interested Operator List. These messages are displayed at your NetView console session.

Messages from the target console that are displayed include new message lines displayed on the Support Element console integration (CI) window, sent by z/OS, OS/390, VM, Linux® on System z®, VSE, or the Coupling Facility Control Code (CFCC). Multiline messages issued by z/OS look like several single-line messages from the console. Similarly, if an z/OS message extends over two lines, it looks like multiple separate messages from the processor operations console.

When you are monitoring a CI, make sure it is enabled to receive regular messages. For z/OS, refer to the VARY CONSOLE command parameters ACTIVE, DEACTIVATE.

All processor operations messages from a target system begin with the processor operations identifier ISQ900I or ISQ901I plus the target system name and the console type. Messages prefixed by ISQ900I are not displayed but are used by the automation. User automation should key on the ISQ900I messages. Messages prefixed by ISQ901I are sent to interested operators and should not be used for user automation. Multiline messages appear as multiple messages.
