Re: System messages/journals help

Thanks Chuck

This was the start.
Next step is to write the rpg programs that deal with/display this data.
That's the reason i thought I should start here. :)
Correct me if this is wrong place to start.

QSYSMSG - that is the MSGQ I was talking about.
I meant the audit journal.
And from your answer, I gather that the QHST###### will detain all my messages, and I can just sort through them for the specific messages I need.

Thanks

OK... but what is the tie-in to RPG?

We have the system journal, MSGQ, QHST.

Do you mean the /audit/ journal? A particular *MSGQ such as QSYSMSG?
The QHST is a message queue for which its data is manifest via the
QHST###### files.

What types of events will go to which destination?
Is there an overlap of data?

Am I right to assume that QHST will get info messages, that do not
need to be dealt with?
And the MSGQ will get messages that might need immediate attention?

QHST gets a copy of every message sent to QSYSOPR, plus other
messages that the OS component deemed worth having a copy logged, even
if not to the system operator; e.g. data that might be relevant to debug
an issue, but should not clutter the *SYSOPR message queue.

Perhaps the Opening Post should be clarified and then sent to an
appropriate list.... to address the more appropriate audience.
