Example: Profile Messages for Specific Jobs

In this example, you want to create a profile to capture messages for certain CICS jobs on the production systems in the eastern and the western branches. The branches use only one test system, ETST. You assign a status of INACTIVE, as you do not want the profile to be used immediately. You only want to capture messages that have routing codes of 1, 2, or 11.

From the Message Profiles panel, you press F4 (Add) to add a profile. A Profile Details panel appears. You can press F8 (Forward) to scroll forward through the panels or enter the panel index number at the Command prompt to select a specific panel. (Pressing F11 (Panels) displays a list of panels and panel index numbers.)

Use the following panels in this example:

• Profile Details
• System Specification
• Job Name Specification
• OS Codes Specification

The following panels show the completed message profile:
