View the Region Console

The console displays messages that a region generates as it performs tasks. You can configure information displays and the order of the information columns. Date, Time, and Message columns display by default.

You can configure the console to display the following message information:

Date
The date on which the message was generated.
Time
The time that the message was generated.
Host
The host that generated the message. This is relevant in a cluster environment, where a region's processing is handled by multiple machines in a cluster.
Message
The generated message.
Note: You can configure the level of the message displayed for each region by setting the Console Message Level property of the System Initialization Table (SIT) or the region startup file. See To set a region's console message level for details.
Thread
The processing thread for the task that generated the message.
Process
The process ID that generates the message.
AppDomain
The application domain in which the task is running.
Batch and CICS applications can use ACCEPT FROM CONSOLE and EXEC CICS WRITE OPERATOR REPLY respectively to request input from the system console. When they do so, execution of the application is suspended until a reply has been received. When a request is made for console input by an application running under Enterprise Server for .NET, the request can be satisfied by replying using either of the following:
  • Enterprise Server for .NET Administration UI's Console View
  • seesys command-line utility
