MONITOR, MONUSERS, ROUTCODE, DESCCODE


The MONITOR, MONUSERS, ROUTCODE, and DESCCODE keywords are valid with the BUILD, CLONE, DBSCAN, RELOAD, REORG (Online Reorg function and Reorg function), UNLOAD, and OREORG commands.

The DESC and ROUTCDE options are valid with the Prefix Resolution/Update function. You can specify the MONITOR option in the environment setup member (DLIGSET0) or in PLUSIN. The ROUTCODE and DESCCODE keywords are available in PLUSIN; they are not available as global options. The following table describes the keywords.

Monitoring keywords

To do this

Specify this in PLUSIN

Monitor job progress at specified interval (issue message every nnnnnnnn seconds).

MONITOR(nnnnnnn)

Send messages to TSO user ID.

MONUSERS(user01,user02,...)

Send messages to OS consoles.

ROUTCODE(n,n,n,...)

DESCCODE(n,n,n,...)

Send messages to OS consoles. (Prefix Resolution/Update function)

ROUTCDE(n,n,n,...)

DESC(n,n,n,...)

Internal default: No automatic monitoring, send monitor messages to the console and BMCMSG, ROUTCODE(2,7), DESCCODE(7).

The MONITOR and MONUSERS keywords let you monitor the job. Monitoring is always available through the MVS MODIFY command; however, if you assign a value to the MONITOR keyword, MAXM Reorg solutions issue a message at a user-specified interval.

Error
Warning

If you are using an existing global options module that was created with the Database Utilities or MAXM Reorg classic, unpredictable results could occur. The Database Utilities and MAXM Reorg classic specified MONITOR(YES,nnnnn), where nnnnn represented a number of records. In BMC AMI Online Reorg for IMS and the MAXM Reorg/EP solutions, the MONITOR keyword specifies an amount of time.

BMC recommends that if you use an existing global options module that specifies monitoring, you should override the monitoring option with a MONITOR(nnnnnnnn) keyword in the PLUSIN control statement data set. You can disable monitoring for the MAXM Reorg solutions by using the ISPF interfaces provided with the MAXM Reorg classic, but unpredictable results could occur.

If you specify a TSO user ID with the MONUSERS keyword, MAXM Reorg/EP solutions send the messages to that TSO user’s terminal. You can specify as many as 10 user IDs. The user IDs are not checked for validity (for example, all messages sent to an invalid user ID are lost).

You can issue commands to request various monitoring tasks. To receive monitoring messages at specified intervals, you must specify a value for the MONITOR keyword.

The ROUTCODE and DESCCODE keywords allow you to specify routing and descriptor codes for MAXM Reorg solutions messages. If you specify routing and descriptor codes, MAXM Reorg/EP solutions send the WTO to the MVS consoles indicated by the codes.

Routing codes send MAXM Reorg solutions messages to the MVS system consoles where they can be displayed. More than one routing code can be assigned to a message to send it to more than one console. You can specify a maximum of 10 routing codes, separated by commas. The defaults are 2 (master console) and 7 (unit record pool). For the Prefix Resolution/Update function, the defaults are 1,7,11.

Descriptor codes describe the significance of messages. These codes determine how the system displays and deletes messages. You can specify a maximum of 10 descriptor codes, separated by commas. The default is 7.

For a description of message routing and descriptor codes, see the IBM MVS/ESA Routing and Descriptor Codes manual.

Use the MVS MODIFY command (F) to manipulate monitoring keywords. With the MODIFY command, you can show the monitor intervals and TSO user IDs in effect, display the progress of the job, and set or change values that were set with the MONITOR and MONUSERS keywords.

The commands are described in the next section. Use the following format for all MODIFY commands, where jobName is the MVS job name and command is the specific utility command:

F jobName,command
