David, I think the problem with the ACS WRITE statements is, that the output does not travel the route that can be intercepted by your solution. It goes directly to the JES2 Message file of the job. I have been looking too for a way to collect these message and have them emailed to me, but AFAIK, it is not possible. Any change in this would be welcome.

There is a message revision table in Netview that could be used. I have used it in a temporary way when I issue a command from system automation that only generates ouput in a joblog - in my case the revision table is: UPON ( JOBNAME = 'DFSKERN' ) REVISE("Y" AUTOMATE) Then I activate a message table that triggers an exec to write each message it sees from the jobname to a global variable stem (incrementing an index), and asynchronously pick up the output later. Of course in your case, the message table processing could be much simpler, and permanent (I only do the set-up to retrieve the data I have triggered, and undo it afterwards).

Let me know what you think When you create ACS code you can put WRITE statements into the process for clarification. Is it possible to capture those WRITEs in an automation product, OPS/MVS, AFOPER, Tivoli, and action the message? If a user is creating a dataset and using an invalid DSN, I could put a write statement in the code that says WRITE MYACS001I Invalid DSN for the storage group requested. Then if it went to SYSLOG I could capture it and send an email to the storage team for review. Or if my user was requesting way to much space for a specify storage pool, I could do something similar. So, it would be nice, in my opinion, to be able to create an event notification that an automation tool could capture and then perform some action (i.e. email the storage team) I understand that I can redirect to a different pool and provide other actions within ACS code. But since a lot of logging goes directly to the DFHSM logs or SYSOUT DDs, I have to have someone manually review to identify what is going on. Another example, there is an ARC0019I message that indicates the CELLS are too small for DFHSM. It is only in the SYSOUT DDs. I will be opening a SHARE requirement to be able to redirect these types of messages to SYSLOG so that an automation tool can send a notification to the storage team. The only way I see of doing it is to filter the output of the task to find the ACS code WRITE statements or filter the DFHSM SYSOUT DDs. Any thoughts are welcome. And if you have any other messages or functions in DFHSM that might need redirection, let me know.
