AOFNIPMESSAGES Parameter

The AOFNIPMESSAGES parameter determines whether CA OPS/MVS allows message rules to process NIP messages. Since this parameter is only effective prior to starting the primary job entry subsystem, we recommend that you set this parameter during initialization only.

Default value

NO

NIP messages are recorded in OPSLOG but are not processed by AOF message rules.

Other possible values

YES

NIP messages are recorded in OPSLOG and are eligible to be processed by AOF message rules.

Note: These message rules are driven at the time the NIP messages are being written to the SYSLOG rather than at the time the messages are being generated.

Set or modify this parameter...

Anytime

Example: AOFNIPMESSAGES

This function allows the AOF to process NIP messages at the time they are written to the SYSLOG.

OPSPRM('SET','AOFNIPMESSAGES','YES')

Note:

• This parameter applies to z/OS 1.4.2 or higher operating environments that have applied the required fixes to support IBM APAR OA10401.
• Since OPSINFO(“EXITTYPE”) returns a value of NIP when processing NIP messages, you can use it to write automation that is unique to NIP messages.
• You cannot change the attributes of NIP messages or suppress them in AOF rules.
