Consolidate VTAM Messages to a Single Console

You can use OCS as a consolidated console where you can monitor VTAM messages from different connected systems.

Note: The consolidated console is fully functional in focal point regions only. In subordinate regions, only local message traffic is visible.

To monitor messages on the consolidated console, you must define message profiles to select the messages you want to monitor. The defined profiles are global, that is, profiles defined in one region are available to the other connected regions.

A message profile determines which messages are displayed on a consolidated console. Different users can have different sets of message profiles. When you access the consolidated console, your message profiles determine your view of the message flow.

Note: For more information about defining message profiles, see the Administration Guide.
