Example

Message ABC123D is issued by application ABCAPPL during startup as permanent, outstanding WTOR and SA z/OS stores it as primary WTOR for this application. During the lifetime of the application, whenever message ABC789I is issued in special situations, a reply should be issued to the permanent, outstanding WTOR ABC123D for this application. The MESSAGES/USER DATA automation policy item for message ID ABC789I of the application is used to define this reply.

When message ABC789I is issued by the application, SA z/OS retrieves the reply ID of the permanent, outstanding WTOR and issues command MVS R 117,ABC RESTORE, as shown in Figure 1.
