Message Queue Monitoring powered by DataThread for IBM i

DataThread ™ can be used with any AS/400 or iSeries system. It does not require a single change to your existing applications. Utilizing extensive messaging functions of the AS/400 and iSeries DataThread ™ will detect and capture additions to any message queue you wish to monitor. Since the vast majority of message queue entries do not require tracking, you can set criteria (i.e. MSGID = CPF9999, or Job Name = MonthEnd) and only those message queue entries will be captured. Since the vast majority of data in the entry do not require tracking, only selected fields configured by the system administrator, will be retained. You capture only the fields you’re interested in. So, to use message queue tracking you:

If you want, in addition you can add a workflow which can:

		Set field level conditions (i.e. EQ – user profile, job name, library etc.)
		Notify a person or group (cascading/escalating)(email, pager, AS400 message)
		Notify a person or group (cascading/escalating)(email, pager, etc.)
		Require an electronic signature(s) (cascading)
		Send (publish) the capture to a data queue
		Call a program
		Submit a job

Each capture contains:

		File
		Library
		Unique Transaction Number (powerful auditor feature)
		Message Queue
		Date/Time
		Program Name
		Action (update, add, delete, read)
		User Profile and description(user’s name)
		Electronic signature (if required)
		Signature comment (if required or entered)
		Reason code (user defined, i.e. APP, REJ, HLD etc.)
		Fields you select from the message queue to capture
