When an analysis function runs for more than a few seconds, a wait screen displays. Each wait screen describes the type of processing in progress and what area of the system CA Auditor is analyzing. This lets you monitor the progress of the work. Certain options, such as the SMF History Display, can run for a long time. If you do not want CA Auditor to process all of the data or you want to stop the processing, you can interrupt the analysis.
Each time that CA Auditor updates the information on the wait screen, it checks to see if you requested an interruption. If it finds no such request, it continues processing. On most terminals, you can end processing by pressing the program attention key (PA1).
Some terminals (specifically those on SNA control units) do not permit you to interrupt processing by pressing PA1. On these terminals, press the attention key (ATTN) instead. If you are in doubt, do not press the ATTN key if you have not tried the PA1 key. On certain VTAM systems, pressing the attention key terminates your CA Auditor session. If you are using a PC for a terminal or accessing TSO through a terminal emulator, consult the emulator documentation for the right combination of keys to interrupt CA Auditor.
Once you interrupt processing, an Attention Interrupt menu is displayed. This display lets you terminate processing, resume processing, or use the data that CA Auditor gathered so far.
If you use only the data gathered so far, only partial data is used, which might be misleading. Use your own judgment about the validity of an CA Auditor analysis when you use partial data.
