TMON/MVS (possibly under a newer name than when I developed this part of it in 1987) sets itself up as an application using the Monitor Call Trace Facility when and only when a short-duration I/O trace is requested by a TMON/MVS user . It removes all its Monitor Call control blocks when the trace ends. Unless that code has been modified since I last worked with it 20 years ago.

The only thing GTF initialization does with the jobnames you specify is to put them into an array which is subsequently used buy the filtering routine. There is no check to see if the jobs are running. (at least, not in the GTF code as provided by IBM - I don't know if there are any ISV products which hook into GTF). If the SYSLOG and logrec don't show anything useful, the next thing I would suggest is SLIP SET,A=SVCD,MSGID=AHL007I,ID=GTF,ML=1,END and send in the dump via your PMR so I can look at it.
