The monitor can report all inquiry type messages entering a message
queue. Messages a primarily selected by comparison of the severity
level. Message exception handling is defined in the Message filter file.
Messages can be selected or excluded based on any combination of
message id, job name or user id. Specific messages can be re-routed to
another user than the one who was defined for the entire system.
Compared to the MSGW checkpoint, this covers more of the activity in
the system, but it may require a little more effort to configure.
With the default setup of monitoring QSYSOPR and QSYSMSG all the
important system messages will be forwarded.
If using MidJet GSM Text bidirectional, you have the capability to retrieve
the help text of a message and to send a reply to a message directly from
the GSM phone.
Do not use both MSGW and MSGQ for QSYSOPR at the same time.
Duplicate error messages may be forwarded.
 Job queue checkpoint
This checkpoint compares the number of jobs actually in the job queue
with a configured value. If exceeded, an error message will be created.
This is useful for finding jobs and programs in error, a job queue “piling
up” might indicate an application program loop.
 Out queue checkpoint
This checkpoint compares the number of spool files and/or number of
pages actually in the out queue with configured values. If exceeded, an
error message will be created. This is useful for finding program loops,
printer performance problems and unexpected query list results.
 Job checkpoint
Checks that a job with a specific user is active on the system. It can be
any type of job, like order entry batch processing, communications or
printer jobs.
 Subsystem checkpoint
Works similar to the job checkpoint, checks that a subsystem is active.
 Configuration status checkpoint
This checkpoint is used for checking the current status of a configuration
object. Any status a configuration object can have can be defined as
valid. Line descriptions, controllers, devices or network interfaces can be
checked. If an exception if found, an error message will be created.
 Sysact checkpoint
Active systems checkpoint is used to check that a remote system
responds to a connection check. The remote system can be another
iSeries, or if TCP/IP is used, any system with an IP address can be
checked. In this case also routers, printers etc. with an IP address can be
included. A completion message can be created at a predefined time,
indicating how many systems were checked.
 HTTP checkpoint
This checkpoint is used to check web servers. It will connect to the web
server and receive response. If connection is unavailable or the response
is invalid, a number of retries will be made. If still not available after all
