Implementing Message Profiles › Access the Consolidated Console

Access the Consolidated Console

From the primary menu, enter O to access OCS. If the lower right of your screen is not displaying CC ON or CC PND, enter CCON to change the monitor to a consolidated console. If an RMCCOC07 message is displayed or if the status is CC PND, your console is unable to receive system messages because your profile is not suitable for the consolidated console.

The console starts displaying the messages that match the message profiles available to you. You must have at least one message profile enabled to view any message.

Notes:

• If console consolidation is disabled, you can monitor local messages only. (Message consolidation is enabled or disabled in the CCONSOLIDATN parameter group. For information about parameter groups, see the Reference Guide.
• You can also use the Command Entry facility as a consolidated console. To access the Command Entry panel, type CMD at a prompt, or press F5 from OCS. Enter CCON to turn on console message consolidation. The Command Entry facility keeps the messages that scroll off the panel, that is, you can bring those messages back onto the panel by pressing the F7 or F8 scroll function keys.

If the Console Does Not Display System Messages

If the console does not display system messages, use the following procedure to investigate the cause and correct the problem. You may not need to complete all of the steps if the problem is corrected before the end of the procedure.

1. Enter PROFILE CC and ensure that at least one of your message profiles is enabled.

   If a defined message profile is not accessible, check its status. When you load the profiles, only those with an ACTIVE status are loaded.

2. Enter PROFILE to display your console profile. Ensure that the values of the following profile parameters are as indicated:

   UNSOL

   Set to YES.

   AOMMSG

   Set to YES.

   AOMMSGLV

   Set to other than NONE.

   You can correct the value by issuing the following command for each relevant parameter:

   PROFILE profile-parameter=parameter-value

   The changed value is valid for the current session only. If you want to change a value permanently, change it in your user profile.

   If the AOMMSG and AOMMSGLV parameters are not displayed or if the AOMMSGLV parameters cannot be changed, you need to update your user ID definition according to the guidelines in the next step; otherwise, proceed to Step 4.

   Note: If you are not authorized to correct errors found in the following steps, report the errors to the administrator.

3. Enter the /UAMS.B path to browse your user ID definition. Ensure that your AOM General Details panel displays the following values:

   AOM Message Receipt

   Set to Y.

   Console Routing Codes

   Set to ALL.

   Message Level Screening

   Set to ALL.

   When these values are correct, you can then update the corresponding profile parameters as indicated in the previous step.

   You should also ensure that the Initial OCS Command field on your OCS Details panel has the value $RMCCOCS. This command ensures that the message monitor is always presented to you as a consolidated console.

   Ensure that console consolidation is activated by the CCONSOLIDATN region parameter group.
