RE: [WDSCI-L] Message plug-in

[Mark Phippard <MarkP@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The monitoring and the filtering are really two separate features of the 
plugin.  For one thing, to monitor a queue you have to be able to allocate 
it so the feature is not practical in general for anything other than the 
message queue for your own profile.  Second, we are not trying to build a 
message queue monitoring solution here.  This is a free utility we whipped 
out on our own time so that developers would know when their submitted 
compile jobs completed.  Not that you cannot use it for other purposes, 
just that is where our motivation begins and ends.  Just as with the 
spooled file plugin our motivation is to let you view and access your 
compile listings and job logs not look at *AFP spooled files with custom 
overlays etc...

What you are essentially asking for is to be able to specify the *MSGQ you 
want us to monitor, as opposed to having us assume it is the *MSGQ for 
your *USRPRF.  I will add it to our to-do list, but cannot make any 
promises as to when or if we will deliver it.

Thanks

Mark
