The NetView Message Revision Table

The message revision table (MRT) enables user-defined modification of attributes such as color, route code, descriptor code, display and syslog settings, and text of original z/OS messages (rather than copies).

You can make decisions about the message based on its message ID, job name, and many other properties. For example, you can take the following actions:

• Revise messages before they are presented to the system log, console or automation
• Treat a message differently depending on its source
• Suppress messages entirely
• Automate only

The message revision table can override actions taken by the z/OS message processing facility (MPF) and can generally replace the MPF. It can also remain active even while NetView is not, but the subsystem interface (SSI) address space is required. However, loading or querying the MRT, or gathering statistics, depends on the functional NetView address space being active.
