Unique execution identifier for a rexx with a start and end message

IBM OMEGACENTER Gateway generate for every event a unique execution identifier so called match id which is stored and accessible in a match variable.
Every output or action that is generated by this user rexx will be logged with this unique number so that the admin is able to analyse every action. Also the start and the end of an user rexx will be logged automatically by the OG engine with addional informations.
Sample end message:
09/19/18 00:25:26.97 MAT 17593 !AOP0097 MATCH NUMBER 17593 COMPLETED NORMALLY, CPU TIME = 0 SECS, 8391 MICRO-SECCONDS

Compared with Netview this functionality is currently not available and because of that the effort to analyse the behavior of the automation solution consuming more time.

This match id will be used in many other secenarios where a unique ID is nessary. A good sample for that is our eventmanagement solution. This ID is also stored in our incident tool so that the admin staff is able to see the origin message which has generated this event. For a complex architecture with many components and it is important to have a uniqe ID over the whole proccess.
