Issue/Introduction

Why does the "NOTIFY= <logonid>" in the JCL JOB statement work for some logonids but not work for others?

 

 

Environment

Release:
Component: ACF2MS

Resolution

The NOTIFY= <logonid> in the JCL JOB statement will not work if the ACF2 logonid record for the user has NOINTERCOM specified.

The NOTIFY= <logonid> parameter on the JCL JOB statement, or the JECL /*NOTIFY statement will cause the $HASP165 message to be displayed, via the SEND command, to an interactive user when the job ends.

The ACF2 TSO INTERCOM|NOINTERCOM logonid field controls whether a TSO user is willing to receive messages sent via the TSO SEND command. If NOINTERCOM is specified in the ACF2 logonid record for the TSO user, the $HASP165 NOTIFY message will not be received.

 

Additional Information

Details on the ACF2 TSO INTERCOM|NOINTERCOM logonid field can be found in the ACF2 for z/OS Administrator Guide, in Chapter 3: Maintaining Logonid Records, section "Logonid Record Fields".

Details on the JES2 $HASP165 message can be found in the IBM Z/OS JES2 MESSAGES Guide.
