"Activate MONITOR independent of a console" was an enhancement to z/OS
R7 as part of the console restructure.
David Hom did a nice presentation at SHARE in Boston 2881 Now Playing at
a Screen Near You:
z/OS Console Restructure that mentioned this. Sure enough it is in the
R7 documentation.
We have MN DSNAME and MN JOBNAMES in COMMNDxx in PARMLIB today and don't
specify MONITOR at all in CONSOLxx.
Looks like we will have to make a couple changes at R7...

| 3.5.13.1 Enabling message monitoring
| To enable monitor message production for a particular message type
without
| sending the messages to a specific console, do one of the following:
| Issue the SETCON MONITOR command
| At IPL time, specify the SETCON MONITOR command in COMMNDxx
| For SPACE and DSNAME, specify the MONITOR keyword on the INIT
| statement of CONSOLxx
| To enable monitor message production and identify the console to
receive
| the monitored messages, do one of the following:
| Issue the MONITOR command
| For JOBNAMES, SESS, and STATUS, specify the MONITOR keyword on the
| CONSOLE statement of CONSOLxx
| For an EMCS console, use the OPERPARM parameter of the MSCOPER service
| when activating the EMCS console.
| The MONITOR command enables monitor message production if it has not
| already been enabled with the SETCON MONITOR command.
SETCON Command
Use the SETCON command to activate functions pertaining to the console
environment and the Console ID Tracking facility. For more information
about the Console ID Tracking facility, see z/OS MVS Planning:
Operations.
Syntax
The syntax of the SETCON command is:
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
--
|
| SETCON {TRACKING|TR}={ON|OFF|ONWITHABEND}
| {MONITOR|MN}
| {,JOBNAMES={(ON{,LOG|NOLOG})|OFF}}
| {,SESS={(ON{,LOG|NOLOG})|OFF}{
| {,STATUS={(ON{,LOG|NOLOG})|OFF}}
| {,T={ON|OFF}}

MONITOR or MN
Monitor messages are to be enabled or disabled, as defined by each
of
the specified message types.
,JOBNAMES
The name of the job is displayed whenever the job starts and
terminates, including unit record allocation when the step
starts.
If a job terminates abnormally, the job name will appear in a
diagnostic message.
,SESS
The TSO/E user identifier is displayed whenever the TSO/E
session
begins and ends. If the session terminates abnormally, the user
identifier appears in the diagnostic message.
,STATUS
The data set names and volume serial numbers of data sets with
dispositions of KEEP, CATLG, or UNCATLG are displayed whenever
data sets are freed.
,T
For monitor messages that can optionally contain a timestamp,
the
timestamp is included in the message.

Subject: MONITOR command
The following command
MN JOBNAMES,T
turns on messages IEF403I, IEF404I.
The messages appear in job output, as well as hardcopy log (syslog in
this case).
However, when the console from which the command is entered is switched
off, the messages are turned off.
I can enter the command from master console, but - although it is rare
to switch off the console, it can happen.
Q: How can I switch the messages "permanently on", despite of console
state ?
I guess I should use CONSOLxx, but what statement - INIT or CONSOLE ?
