Message Type, Level, and Job Criteria

From the OS Codes Specification panel, press F8 (Forward) to display the Message Job Specification panel. You can specify the message types, and message levels, job types, and job classes assigned to messages that are captured.

You can include or exclude certain items in each criteria type, but not both (except for the Broadcast field under Message Levels). For example, if you want to accept immediate action messages but not broadcast messages, specify Y in the Immediate Action field and N in the Broadcast field.

Leave the fields blank to allow messages of any type, level, job type, or job class. If other criteria are specified in the profile and the message satisfies those criteria, the message is displayed on the consolidated console.

Message Types

Message types correspond to the operands of the MONITOR or STOPMN system commands. For example, messages generated because of the MONITOR SESS command have the SESS type.

Message Levels

Message levels indicate the relative importance of a message.

Note: The broadcast level has precedence over all other message criteria. If broadcast messages are allowed, the message profile passes all broadcast messages irrespective of the other criteria.

Job Types

Job types are as follows:

Job

Indicates a batch job.

STC

Indicates a started task.

In a JES3 environment, a started task has a job type of Job.

TSU

Indicates a TSO user.

Unknown

Indicates a job type that is not one of the previous types.

Job Classes

The job class is assigned by the CLASS parameter of the JOB JCL statement.
