You can use z/OS descriptor codes to assign certain attributes to a message. CA MIC for z/VM uses descriptor code 2 to denote action messages. These messages are highlighted and cannot be scrolled on a z/OS console. To prevent messages from routinely scrolling off the z/OS console screens, highlight those messages through the ACTIONPREFIX, ACTIONTYPE, and ACTIONUSER parameters on the SETOPTION command.
Use the ACTIONPREFIX parameter to highlight messages with a certain message ID. For example, to highlight VTAM messages IST013I and IST400I when they are collected by an external system, issue this command on CA MIC for z/VM:
SETOPTION ACTIONPREFIX=(IST013I,IST400I)
You can specify up to 20 message IDs per SETOPTION command. To add more message IDs, issue another SETOPTION command.
To highlight all VTAM messages when they are collected by an external system, issue this command on CA MIC for z/VM:
SETOPTION ACTIONUSER=VTAM2
To highlight all CP MESSAGE and CP WARNING messages when they are collected by an external system, issue the following command on CA MIC for z/VM:
SETOPTION ACTIONTYPE=(MSG,WNG)
Note: You can delete highlighted messages from a z/OS console by the z/OS CONTROL command, or by CA MIC for z/VM (if you specify AUTODELETE=GLOBAL on the SETOPTION command or you issue a DOM command).
