Parameters › OPSLOG Parameters › BROWSEMESSAGES Parameter

BROWSEMESSAGES Parameter

This parameter determines which copies of a message and a DOM go into OPSLOG.

Note: In a sysplex environment, the value of BROWSEMESSAGES affects messages and DOMs from other systems in the sysplex.

Default value

MVS

CA OPS/MVS processes z/OS messages and DOMs from the SSI.

In a sysplex environment, OPSLOG receives and processes messages and DOMs from this specific system only.

Other possible values

• NONE

  OPSLOG processes no messages or DOMs.

• MVSGLOBAL

  This value is valid only for sites that are running in a sysplex environment or importing messages to CA OPS/MVS through CA MIC.

  If your site runs JES3, you must specify MVSGLOBAL on the JES3 global processor in order for OPSLOG to receive the reissued messages from the JES3 local processors. In a sysplex environment, specifying MVSGLOBAL causes OPSLOG to receive and process messages from other systems in the sysplex.

  In an environment in which CA OPS/MVS receives imported messages from CA MIC, specifying MVSGLOBAL causes OPSLOG to receive and process the imported messages.

  Note: If AOFMESSAGES is set to MVSLIST and BROWSEMESSAGES is set to MVSGLOBAL, OPSLOG will receive local messages and messages imported from systems specified on the MVSSYSn parameters. Consult the documentation for the AOFMESSAGES parameter for more information.
