Lucy, thank you for your reply.
We already spin off the AUDIT and JESMSGLG daily (24 hours) to GDGs. I think RickR had an excellent idea of using the Report Writer for updates to job statuses. We are already looking to utilize this suggestion (thanks RickR).
I was looking for something non-intrusive as the Report Writer to offload the above logs to be utilized with Splunk or some other tool to easily peruse through many days/weeks/months quickly and easily to help when problems arise. I was thinking of an API or something similar to the Report Writer that would sit on top of the master and funnel information out to utilized in near real time scenarios for problem resolution. This would be easier to setup views and offload to documents than cutting and pasting from the mainframe (numerous times) into a document to pass along for the root cause analysis to management.
