If you are only interested in processing tape requests for these
operators, you can run an admin session in mount mode
('dsmadmc -mountmode') and just keep an eye on those messages. I
believe that you can also set the server option parameter
"MSGINTerval" to determine the amount of time ADSM waits before
repeating a mount request on the console and in the activity log.
The default value is one minute.
