EQQ messages for jobs NOPed and SR availability change

Dear IWSz development team,


Due to batch monitor requirement, we're looking for EQQ messages for the circumstances:


1) When a job is NOPed.

2) When a job is Held.

3) When SR availability is changed, especially when SR is changed to AVAIL(YES) no matter how.


Currently we can only find EQQM25* messages for panel display with attribute .ALARM=YES. They did not take MLOG=YES/CDP=YES/WTO=YES.


Please consider add new messages for our requirements, or enable MLOG=YES/CDP=YES/WTO=YES for messages EQQM25*.


Thank you.

    These should be auditable via batch auditing. 
    NOP/UNNOP is definitely something we believe should be in the Audit logs. 
    Particularly changes to the availability (Y/N)  of an SR and the Quantity. 
    If usage were to also be logged this should be optional as otherwise sites that use SR's heavily will get SR records for most job start and ends leading to excessive messages,
