Re: Message queue QSYS/QSYSMSG

I've been meaning to add this to my JOBWATCH application. It already
monitors for MSGW (or any status) job and also can make sure at least "X"
jobs are running. This would be a cool addition.

IDK about that RFE. Basically some rudimentary messaging software to
monitor message queues would be nice. If I was really uptight about
something in QSYSOPR not appearing in QSYSMSG then that software could
monitor that also.

The plus side of the messaging software is the texting, email, etc.
The downside is that it will eventually get purchased by someone who will
jack up the price.

Absolutely!!

Now let's all get together and open an RFE and vote the crap out of it
to allow WE THE PEOPLE to mark messages that WE want to show up in
QSYSMSG!!!

I will second Bob's recommendation, we were not doing this and lost a

and didn't realize it for several days (other than the performance was

downhill).

We have a job that monitors this message queue and if anything appears

our

IT manager and myself get immediate notification in our email and a text

to

our phones.

I strongly recommend that everyone create the message queue

QSYS/QSYSMSG.

Any critical messages from QSYSOPR will be copied there. You will not

get

the clutter like "cleanup ran" and stuff like that.

And you just might want to keep an eye on QSYS/QSYSMSG and not ignore

the

messages like

Date sent . . . . . . : 07/16/14 Time sent . . . . . . :

14:28:22

CPPEA05 *Attention* Contact your hardware service provider.
Cause . . . . . : Internal analysis of an exception indicates that

data

protection facilities have been lost due to a permanent failure.

Date sent . . . . . . : 12/28/15 Time sent . . . . . . :

21:22:10

CPI1164 Hot spare disk unit not operating.

Date sent . . . . . . : 07/02/16 Time sent . . . . . . :

19:07:28

CPF1397 Subsystem QBASE varied off work station DSP01 for user ROB
Cause . . . . . : The maximum number of sign on attempts specified by
system
value QMAXSIGN has been reached. The device has been varied off for
security reasons.

Just kinda speaking from experience...
