ThruPut Manager provides a way to communicate with either or both of the operations staff and the job submitter. Before you can request a WTO, WTU, or WTCA7, the associated message must be defined. That is the purpose of the MSGDEF statement. You can define messages which include any Descriptor or Property combined with your text.
Here are some examples of typical message definitions:
MSGDEF CARTS_NEEDED ('JOB',$JOBNAME,'NEEDS ',$VOL_CART_ALL,'VOLUMES.')
MSGDEF INVALID_ACCT ($ACCT,' IS AN INVALID ACCOUNT.')
MSGDEF SAMPLE_MESSAGE ('MESSAGE WITH NO INSERTS.') ROUTCDE(17)These examples show how inserts can be used to include information that is specific to the job that is being processed by the Job Analyzer. The basic format is:
MSGDEF msg-id (msg-text) msg-routing-infoWhen a DD or Job Descriptor is included in a message, the value or string from the Job Profile represented by the Descriptor is inserted into the text. How the information will appear is explained in the description of formatting that follows.
