Specifying message options


To indicate whether you want to specify message options and override the product default, complete the following steps. You can also indicate whether you want to display the BMC initialization messages.

If you want to specify message options, indicate the options for IMS terminal and OS console. You can override the product defaults that are listed in Overview-compression-and-maintenance-procedures.

  1. The Message Options panel shown in Figure 1 is displayed for system, database, and segment entries when you indicate Y for Output options on the DPICDS Administration panel (see Specifying-selection-criteria-and-process). The panel is displayed for Add and Change; the function you are performing is indicated at the top of the panel .If no message options are specified for this entry, the DPICDS record at the next highest level will be used. If no message options are specified at some higher level, the default values will be used.

    • Type Y or N to indicate whether you want IMS messages routed to the WTO.
    • Indicate the appropriate descriptor codes. The defaults are 4,7.
    • Indicate the appropriate route codes. The defaults are 2,11. See your MVS system programmer for more information on the route and descriptor codes to be used.
    • Indicate the ID of an alternate system console. The default is the system defined OS console.
