ACS-system operator messages

While doing a nightly backup, unless HTTP & Admin servers are running, there is no easy way to view system operator messages. A plug in would be helpful to view in Access Client Solutions(Windows).


Use Case:

If there is an issue in a nightly backup and a message is posted to the system operator message queue. I have no way to easily see the problem. In the "old" iNavigator product, there was a choice to see them.
Currently to resolve this I need to start http and admin servers to have access to the messsages.

    IBM understands this request and will consider it for a future code update, though no commitment is made or implied.
