Shouting to Control-M/Enterprise Manager

For Control-M/Analyzer to be able to shout to Control-M/Enterprise Manager, the following conditions must be satisfied at the site:

1. Control-M/Enterprise Manager must be installed and the ECS parameter must be set to Y in member IOAPARM in the IOA PARM library.
2. File MG2 (the Control-M/Enterprise Manager Shout File) must be defined.
3. The following parameters in the IOAPARM member in the IOA PARM library must be defined according to how messages are targeted to Control-M/Enterprise Manager:
   • If TO=OPER and TO=OPER2 messages must be sent to Control-M/Enterprise Manager, the OPER2ECS parameter must be set to Y (Yes). Otherwise, it must be set to N (No).

     When OPER2ECS is set to Y:

     • If these messages must also be sent to the MVS operator console, the OPER2CON parameter must also be set to Y (Yes).
     • If these messages must not also be sent to the MVS operator console, the OPER2CON parameter must also be set to N (No).
   • If TO=U-ECS messages must be sent to Control-M/Enterprise Manager, the UECS2ECS parameter must be set to Y (Yes); otherwise, it must be set to N (No). Regardless of the value of this parameter, these messages are also sent to Control-M/Analyzer and the IOA Log.

Once the above conditions are satisfied, messages can be shouted to Control-M/Enterprise Manager by specifying a destination of TO=OPER or TO=OPER2 (without a route code qualifier), or TO=U-ECS.

Such messages are then placed by Control-M/Analyzer in the M2G file. Once the shouted message is in the M2G file, the Control-M/Analyzer Application Server reads the file and sends the message to the Control-M/Enterprise Manager user.

The URGENCY Subparameter

The URGENCY value indicates the urgency level of the message.

In addition, if the destination is USERID-userid (or U-userid), the user can control, according to urgency, which messages are displayed when the IOA Log file is accessed. Urgent and very urgent messages are highlighted on the screen. For more details, see IOA Log Facility.
