BRMS Console Monitor

To Have the BRMS Console Monitor autostart in QCTL whenever we IPL. This would eliminate the need to log into console to start Console Monitor after an IPL.


Use Case:

It would be an autostart job in the controlling subsystem QCTL. Currently the only way to start console monitor is to log into the console and start the program interactively.

    The BRMS team does not intend to provide a solution to this request at this time, so it is being closed.
