A few important points about QSYSMSG:

1.      You must create it in QSYS.
2.      Someone other than QSYSOPR should monitor it.
3.      IBM decides what messages are sent to QSYSMSG, not you.  Furthermore,
IBM also determines which QSYSMSG messages are not send to QSYSOPR.

        The types of messages that go to both are:

-       DASD failure under RAID-5 for mirroring
-       Critical storage messages
-       Power failure/restore messages

        Typically security hacking types of messages are not sent to QSYSOPR, 
only
QSYSMSG (if QSYSMSG exists in QSYS).
