Jim, Can you clarify: "We do have the SCIF to VM:Operator but that can be time consuming when researching when messages are issued." for me?
When scanning the VM:Operator syslog, each message is prefixed by the time it was issued (well... the time VM:Operator processed it, but that's "pretty close enough"), who issued it, and the IUCVclass in which it arrived. If your guest is SCIFing to VM:Operator then the timestamp is there in the syslog. But if you are logged onto the guest server, then due to SCIF design (unless you use SET OBSERVER ON?) VM:Operator no longer sees the messages until you disconnect again -- and while you are connected there are no timestamps without CP TERM TIMESTAMP ON. I'm confused by your statement.

We do have the SCIF to VM:Operator but that can be time consuming when researching when messages are issued. Has anyone done this? Other than for someone who does a LOGON to the VM console can you see any problem with this?
