I would like to see all the messages getting triggered by the situations in one screen with in Omegamon eu 3270 screens and at present the time parameter sends the value in numbers(seconds). It would be great if it comes with the time format 00:00:00

When a situation triggers an ZOSWTO messages to the mainframe Operators which is specified in the ACTION TAB. At present we are writing the ZOSWTO message in the Syslog, SA traps those messages and sends it to SNOW PROD where the MF Ops team monitors the alerts. But we would like to see the same alerts with in Omegamon e3270 screen which is not available at present.

This will help the team members who are monitoring the alerts with in Omegamon screens when there is an outage/maintenance planned for SNOW

 

The other idea is to have the Elapsed time or Lock time values seems to be in seconds in the final zOSWTO messages, IT would be great if we have the actual time format in 00:00:00 which helps the technical team to understand the values easily. say the elapsed time in the below alert is in 21414.04
