I created a few new Halcyon Level 2 QSYSOPR monitors for various issues.
What I discovered is that if the issue is run by an interactive job as opposed to batch, the MSG goes to the interactive msgq, not QSYSOPR.
Thus, the monitor does not pick these up.
Halcyon support suggest monitoring all interactive joblogs to resolve this.
Not a good option, since this creates a huge performance issue (due to how Halcyon coverts the interactive joblog to a temp disk file to do the monitoring)
I have an open issue with their support on this from way back, asked if the their joblog monitors could be implemented using WRKWCHs.
Temporary I created a WRKWCH for the joblog monitors.
Questions to the group
How are others monitoring various messages that would be caused by an interactive job, not a batch job?
WRKWCH is one option, are there others?
If using a WRKWCH, should one WRKWCH handle multiple messages, or should each message have its own WRKWCH?
What performance impact, if any, do WRKWCHs have on the system?
Thank You
