Can I trap a CICS message for Automation which is not WTO'ed out, but directed to a particular CICS transient data queue?
OPS/MVS
Implement the OPS/MVS COF interface (CICS Operations Facility) and follow the installation procedures from the Administrator Guide and then define the queues from which the messages you desired are directed too. This will allow the messages to be directed to AOF for Automation!
Refer to the CICS Operations Facility chapter of the manuals for installation and use of this option, as well as the Install the XTDOUT COF Interface for CICS/TS, and the Integrating with CICS sections.
