Explanation: VOLUME | NOVOLUME are mutually exclusive, optional subparameters of the MONITOR parameter that specify whether or not to print data set (ARC0734I) messages at the system console.
| Subparameter | Explanation |
|---|---|
| VOLUME | MONITOR(VOLUME) specifies that messages print at the system console, DFSMShsm log, and appropriate activity log. DFSMShsm prints messages about data sets on volumes processed by space management, backup, and recovery. |
| NOVOLUME | MONITOR(NOVOLUME) specifies that messages relating to the data sets on the volumes processed by space management, backup, and recovery print only in the DFSMShsm log and the appropriate activity log. |
SMS relationship: Parameter has the same meaning when applied to SMS-managed or non-SMS-managed DASD volumes or data sets.
SETSYS default: None.
DFSMShsm default: If you do not specify either subparameter on any SETSYS command, the DFSMShsm default is NOVOLUME.
