Values for the BROWSEMESSAGES Parameter (JES3 Users Only)

Use the BROWSEMESSAGES parameter to determine which copies of messages go into the OPSLOG. The following table describes the values you can specify on the parameter. The values are meaningful for the JES3 global processor only; it is best to let the value of the BROWSEMESSAGES parameter default (to a value of MVS) on local processors.

For current versions of JES3, use the following table:

Value

Messages that go into OPSLOG

MVS

Include only those messages that originated on this system.

MVSGLOBAL

Include both the messages issued directly on this system and those messages transported to this system through sysplex console services.

NONE

No messages go into OPSLOG.

We recommend the following regarding the use of the BROWSEMESSAGES parameter:

To avoid confusion between what appears in the OPSLOG and which events are processed by the AOF, give the BROWSEMESSAGES and AOFMESSAGES parameters identical values.

Note: For more information about specifying the BROWSEMESSAGES parameter, see the Parameter Reference.
