TechTip: Which Messages Should I Monitor?

Q: Our programming staff is trying to find a list of the "error messages that can be monitored" that used to appear in the Programming Reference Summary manual. I've looked in the iSeries Information Center, and it refers me to the CL manual, which doesn't give me the error messages to monitor. I have a Version 3 manual, but we are currently running V4R5, and there are a lot of new commands. Any words of wisdom for a lowly administrator?

A: The iSeries Information Center does list monitorable messages at the end of each command summary. But here's an easier way to look them up. From a command line or within SEU, type the name of the command that you want to monitor and press F4 to prompt it. The cursor will be positioned to the first entry field. Move the cursor up to a higher line and press F1 to get the Help text for the command. Within the Help text, you will see the *ESCAPE, *STATUS, and *NOTIFY messages that can be monitored.
