Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All users of MERVA connected to SAA.         *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Message counters are missing to compute *
  *                      the message traffic with SAA. Journal   *
  *                      identifiers are missing to write        *
  *                      incoming messages and ACKs / NAKs from  *
  *                      SAA to the journal.                     *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: This has been provided. Now three message    *
  *                 counters quantify the message traffic with   *
  *                 SAA. Two identifiers mark incoming messages  *
  *                 and ACKs / NAKs from SAA in the journal.     *

Problem conclusion

• 1. Message counters
     ----------------
  
  The following message counters can now be shown:
  
  'Received SW Output Msgs from SAA'
       The number of SWIFT output messages coming in from SAA.
  
  'Received SW ACKs / NAKs from SAA'
       The number of SWIFT acknowledgments and negative
       acknowledgments coming in from SAA.
  
  'Message traffic with SAA'
       The sum of SWIFT output messages, ACKs, and NAKs coming in
       from SAA.
  
  The summary counter 'Message traffic with SAA' shows the number
  of licensed messages with SAA. That is, the sum of SWIFT input
  and output messages. The number of SWIFT input messages going
  out to SAA is equivalent to the number of SWIFT ACKs / NAKs
  coming in from SAA.
  
  The counters can be displayed using the operator commands
  DCLOG DETAIL or DCLOG LAST. The counters can be printed using
  the utility DSLCNTUT.
  
  2. Journal identifiers
     -------------------
  
  The following hexadecimal journal IDs are now available:
  
  9A    Received MQ datagram (SWIFT output message) from SAA
  9B    Received MQ datagram (SWIFT ACK or NAK) from SAA
  
  In order to write records with the ID 9A or 9B to the journal,
  parameter JRNDGRM=YES must be specified in the appropriate
  DSLKPROC receive process.
  
  The utility DSLBA13R can now count the occurrences of the IDs
  9A and 9B and optionally print the journal records with ID 9A
  or 9B.
