BYPASSDESC Parameter

This parameter, whose default value is equivalent to descriptor code 16, specifies the descriptor code used for internal CA OPS/MVS WTO messages. These messages will not execute rules or be placed in OPSLOG.

For example, when the CA OPS/MVS IOF facility issues a WTO request for an IMS message, IOF has already passed the message it intercepted to AOF for processing. IOF then sets the special descriptor code, so when the WTO is issued, CA OPS/MVS does not reprocess it through AOF. The CA OPS/MVS COF facility also does the same processing to insure that duplicate processing is not done for COF messages.

Although you can bypass AOF and OPSLOG processing for other messages, you cannot use AOF to change the descriptor codes of the messages because AOF already will have received those messages. You will need to use other methods to change the descriptor codes.

WARNING! When specifying a value for BYPASSDESC, do not specify a descriptor code that is used by any other type of message.
