The Jobtrac AMR facility appears to no longer monitor system messages and does not prompt or respond to them automatically. To use the AMR feature of Jobtrac, the IBM IEAVMXIT WTO Intercept user exit must exist in SYS1.LINKLIB data set, for AMR triggers. The IEAVMXIT installation exit allows you to modify message process in a system or Sysplex. While running Jobtrac, it can happen that the AMR facility stops intercepting messages. This can cause Jobtrac to stop issuing the required commands automatically, causing a delay in batch workload.
If the Jobtrac Automatic Message Recognition (AMR) facility stops intercepting messages, it is usually because the IBM IEAVMXIT WTO Intercept user exit has abended. Since this exit is used by many software products, the problem determination and resolution process must include careful examination of each product that uses this exit. After the cause of the abend has been determined and resolved, the AMR facility must be reestablished.
To reestablish the AMR facility, it is necessary to execute the following steps:
1. Issue a 'D MPF' command from the OS console. If the output indicates that IEAVMXIT is in ABENDED status, issue a 'K M,UEXIT=Y'.
2. Issue a 'D MPF' again. It should show ACTIVE status, as seen in the following sample display. If the status is INACTIVE, an IPL may be required to resolve the problem.

5. Finally, issue the following sequence of 'XON' and 'XOFF' commands:
a. Enter: XON
Output from the XON command:
00000210 XON
80000010 IEE3_5I XON COMMAND INVALID
b. Enter: XOFF
Output from the XOFF command:

c. Enter: XON
Output from the XON command:
