The CA VM:Operator/CA VM:Spool interface holds CA VM:Spool spool-space warning messages on the operator console and dynamically updates them through the SPOOLMON process.

When CA VM:Spool is in control, most of the CA VM:Operator I/O handling and some of its IUCV handling are disabled. IUCV messages are retained in the CP message queue. If the number of messages in this queue exceeds the number specified for MSGLIMIT in the OPERATOR directory entry (the IUCV *MSG or IUCV ANY record), CP begins displaying the messages on the console and CA VM:Operator does not process them.

The OPERATOR user ID should have access to the VMSPOOL MODULE and the VMUMEP MODULE (these files usually reside on the public minidisk).

Restrictions and Requirements

None.

Implementation

  1. Log on to VMSPOOL.
  2. Enter the END command to shut down VMSPOOL.
  3. Make sure there is a PRODUCT VMOPERATOR OPERATOR record in the VMSPOOL CONFIG file. This configuration file record provides CA VM:Spool with the CA VM:Operator service virtual machine user ID. This record activates the CA VM:Spool side of the interface.
  4. Make sure that there is a MONOPER operator record in the VMSPOOL CONFIG file. This configuration file record allows operator to receive messages from the CA VM:Spool spool-space monitoring facility.
  5. Enter the PROFILE command to restart VMSPOOL.
  6. Enter the #CP DISCONN command to leave VMSPOOL running disconnected.
  7. Log on to VMANAGER.
  8. Enter the CA VM:Operator ADMIN CONFIG command.
  9. Make sure there is a PRODUCT VMSPOOL VMSPOOL record in the VMOPER CONFIG file. This configuration file record provides CA VM:Operator with the CA VM:Spool service virtual machine user ID. This record activates the CA VM:Operator side of the interface. Using the CA VM:Operator ADMIN EDIT command, ensure that there is a PROCESS SPOOLMON record in the CA VM:Operator MAINOPER CONSOLE file or SYSTEM INCLUDE file if you want to have current spool-space monitoring messages held on the operator console.
  10. The SPOOLMON process running in the system window will hold messages from CA VM:Spool indicating that spool space is above the SPOOLFUL level specified in the VMSPOOL CONFIG file. The messages will return to normal intensity and scroll off the screen when the spool-space goes below the SPOOLFUL level.
    If you changed the CONSOLE or INCLUDE file and the logon console is active, enter the CONSOLE RESTART subcommand to restart the console, putting the change into effect.
  11. Make sure these records are in the LOGTABLE or SYSTABLE files if you are using the SPOOLMON process:
    IGNORE MSG VMSPOOL *1 1 VMLSYS040W
    IGNORE MSG VMSPOOL *1 1 VMLSYS043W
    
    These records will ignore messages handled by the SPOOLMON process.
  12. If you changed a LOGTABLE or SYSTABLE, use the CA VM:Operator TABLE LOAD command to put the change into effect.
