Recording a TN3270 or TN5250 Session

Input/output data stream associated with TN3270 or TN5250 sessions can be recorded into a log file. This will help CA Technical Support diagnose customer problems, providing the ability to "see" the console just as it appeared at the customer site. At CA Technical Support's direction, you may be asked to enable recording of a TN3270 or TN5250 session.

To enable recording of a TN3270 or TN5250 session

  1. Create or modify the OICTNET.INI configuration file as follows: 
    [Log]
sessname_EventLog=1
sessname_File=record.log
    sessname

    Specifies the name of the session you wish to record

    There is a sample OICTNET.INI provided in the %AP_HOME%\Sample\config folder.

  2. Save the OICTNET.INI file in the %AP_SITE%\Config folder.
  3. Restart CA Automation Point and run session sessname as usual.

All TN3270 communication traffic to the specified session will be recorded in a file named record.log in the %AP_DATA%\Logs directory.
