ATMCOMM Console Log Operations › Using the ATMCOMM Console Log

Using the ATMCOMM Console Log

When you activate the ATMCOMM log option, ATMCOMM creates a disk-resident console log that contains all messages captured and all commands (except #CP commands) entered from the operator console.

A time stamp is added to the beginning of every message or command recorded in the log. The message type, origin, and text are stored in the log.

Only messages that are processed by ATMCOMM are recorded in the log file. The possible message types are MSG, WNG, SMSG, CPCONIO, EMSG, IMSG, and SCIF. SCIF and SMSG messages are always processed by ATMCOMM, while other message types must be explicitly selected.

Note: VMCONIO messages, which result from CMS command execution, are never processed by ATMCOMM. If VMCONIO is set to IUCV, ATMCOMM will abend. Also, full screen messages such as those created by XEDIT are never recorded in the log.
