I know how to send an SMS cell phone message using an email to sms gateway. What I'm trying to figure out is a relatively simple and CPU efficient way to do it. We have CA-OPS/MVS 11.5 installed. I could use it, but since I don't know every possible WTOR message id which might occur, it appears that I need to trap every z/OS message and look at each one individually. Yuck! This is not CPU efficient. I could write an IEAVMXIT in assembler to trap all messages and process the WTORs. This is probably more CPU efficient, but not simple. Especially since I would likely need to queue the WTORs to another address space to actually process. I could write a program to set up an EMCS console. But this seems neither simple nor CPU efficient, although perhaps more so than CA-OPS.
What have I overlooked? What do I want to accomplish? We run with no people other than "on call" people on the weekends and holidays. This means that a batch job or some other process could hang on a WTOR because we don't currently have a way to notify anybody that they need to take a look. The on-call person is basically forced to work overtime to periodically logon to the system and use TSO and use SDSF to check out the system, or use an SMCS VTAM console to look and issue commands. TSO and SDSF is usually easier. How does a total "lights out" operation do this? John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
