Delete-Operator-Message Rules

An AOF delete-operator-message (DOM) rule is triggered when any system component issues the z/OS DOM macro instruction to low-light some previously issued action message. For example, when a tape mount has been satisfied, the associating highlighted tape mount message gets internally DOMed or low-lighted, thus producing a DOM event that could be trapped through a DOM rule. DOM rules are commonly used in conjunction with other rules, such as MSG and TOD rules, to create applications such as monitoring tape mounts and performing some type of notification for outstanding tape mounts. In addition, DOM rules can be useful for console consolidation, allowing you to send DOM macro requests from several systems to a single system.
