IEF196I message, from OPS/MVS Event Management and Automation WTO is still routed to the JES2 message log.

Products

• OPS/MVS Event Management & Automation

Issue/Introduction

When an EOJ rule issues a WTO command,  the system generates a IEF196I message and its sent to the JES2 message dataset.  For example:
09.43.22 JOB05172  IEF196I *ODTERJCX ENDED.  NAME-CHECKLON  TOTAL CPU TIME =  0.

How do I stop this message from being generated?

Environment

z/OS OPS/MVS, All Releases

Cause

The default route code is causing the message to be generated.

Resolution

Add a route(2) parm to the WTO command and it will resolve the issue.

In general, a WTO's issued from Broadcom's OPS/REXX code should have a Route code assigned to them. OPS/MVS Event Management and Automation does have the parameter WTODEFAULTROUTE that could be used to insure all WTO's from OPS/REXX code have at least a route code assigned.
