Fwd: Console messages which has precedence and related questions

IEE331A is a synchronous WTOR meaning virtually everything else on the processor stops until a reply has been received. The WTOR will be presented to one and only one MCS console at a time (as selected via the SYNCHDEST console group). If a response isn't received in approx. 2 minutes it moves the WTOR to the next MCS console in the list until if eventually reaches the system console on the HMC. Your EMCS console will not see the message prior to it being replied to. In general, if a WTOR is delivered to your console, then you should have the authority to reply to it. A console with MASTER authority may be able to reply to a WTOR even if it wasn't delivered to it. For reference, synchronous messages are described here: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSLTBW_2.1.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r1.ieag300/cfsynch.htm Peter Wisdom is the power to put our time and our knowledge to the proper use.

Even this explanation is over-simplifying it, but you can think of the message level settings as a filter on the routing codes. For example, if you wanted all immediate action messages with a routing code 5 you would set MCSOMLI and the bit for routing code 5. If you just wanted all WTORs you would set MCSOMLR and MCSORCAL (All routing codes).

Re: Console messages which has precedence and related questions
Hi Michael, A message will be delivered to all receivers whose attributes match those of the message. When you retrieve a message via MCSOPMSG you can make no assumptions about whether the message has or hasn't been delivered to any other recipient. A DOM can potentially keep a message from being displayed on an MCS console, but in the scenario you describe it's highly unlikely to happen quick enough. You cannot obtain a specific message id via MCSOPMSG. It is recommended that you limit the routing attributes of the EMCS console to the bare minimum required. If you are using it to issue a command and receive a response then give the EMCS console no routing attributes and use the CART on the MGCRE and MCSOPMSG. If you need to monitor for a wider range of messages then give the EMCS console only those routing attributes needed, and limit the amount of processing done on the unneeded messages obtained via MCSOPMSG. The message dataspace will be created in the console address space and will be shared by all EMCS consoles activated in your address space.

Re: Console messages which has precedence and related questions
Thanks for responding I have set MCSOMLVL to MCSOMLR indicating I should receive all WTOR's However I have a bug in a program And when I get the following message IEE331A That I am in a disabled spin loop I fail to capture it even though it asks for a reply Meaning it's a WTOR Thanks Sent from my iPhone On Aug 17, 2015, at 1:15 PM, Peter Fatzinger f...@us.ibm.com wrote: Hi Michael, A message will be delivered to all receivers whose attributes match those of the message.

Console messages which has precedence and related questions
Hi, If you have an extended console installed in your program via MCSOPER/MCSOPMSG Does the issuing program get the message before it is displayed on the console If so can you delete before it is displayed via dom Secondly can you search for specific message e.g. IEE... or the best you can do is search for command responses those operator/system messages that require a response Thirdly is the data space created in the home address space I would assume so why would it be in common thanks -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
