What I'm trying to figure out is a relatively simple and CPU efficient way
to do it. We have CA-OPS/MVS 11.5 installed. I could use it, but since I
don't know every possible WTOR message id which might occur, it appears that
I need to trap every z/OS message and look at each one individually. Yuck!
This is not CPU efficient. I could write an IEAVMXIT in assembler to trap
all messages and process the WTORs. This is probably more CPU efficient, but
not simple. Especially since I would likely need to queue the WTORs to
another address space to actually process. I could write a program to set up
an EMCS console. But this seems neither simple nor CPU efficient, although
perhaps more so than CA-OPS.

other process could hang on a WTOR because we don't currently have a way to
notify anybody that they need to take a look. The on-call person is
basically forced to work overtime to periodically logon to the system and
use TSO and use SDSF to check out the system, or use an SMCS VTAM console to
look and issue commands. TSO and SDSF is usually easier. How does a total
"lights out" operation do this?

John,
have you looked at the AUTOR function that is available with z/OS 1.12?

This might go some way to achieving what you are after
