RE: Monitoring for MSGW

We use a 3rd party product, MPLUS/MessengerConsole for this purpose from Bytware.
Very flexible.

Subject: Monitoring for MSGW

Hi,

I've been tasked with finding a way to notify relevant people the moment when *any* job goes into the MSGW status. The notification has to tell those people which job is in the MSGW status, when it entered that status and what the MSGID is (I also don't want to spam them with notifications!).
I am not interested in notifying anyone about jobs in the QSPL subsystem, but apart from that I want notification for any batch or interactive job on the local machine requiring a user's response to a message.

I've put together a small routine that loops forever using the QUSLJOB API which works (thanks to Eric Pell), but I'd prefer a different approach because continuously reading the job list over and over just seems like an awkward way to do what I want. Is there a way to have a program called (or dtaq/file added to) when any job in the system goes into the MSGW status?
Trigger, or exit point, etc?

Any tips, ideas, web searches I may have missed?


-Paul.
