Starting with zOS 3.2 ICSF is able to preserve the Joblog and make it available to JES even when started with SUB=MSTR. However, it does not yet support caching of the system settings and print them afterwards to the Joblog.
Currently, after JES availability the log shows:
[textbox formatting unfortunately not persisted when saving the 'code block']

But it does not include the details it has written to Syslog and used for startup. However, this would be a real value add. When one can check that information again in the Joblog and not have to look for the Syslog from the IPL day (which can be weeks ago, offloaded somewhere).
The intention of this idea is to get the CSFO0230* messages cached (during IPL) and then written to the Joblog once JES is available to get something like:
