SVC User Exit Module

The SVC User Exit Module is a feature provided by CA IDMS Log Analyzer that helps control data from the CA IDMS Log.

Invoked in the CA IDMS SVC as a BIND RUN-UNIT is processed, this module makes it possible for you to not only log information about run-unit execution for inclusion in the billing file, but also to log information that relates run-unit information back to the specific batch job or TP task from which it originated.

As supplied, the module will capture user identification information (by terminal, transaction, or operator for each CICS transaction, or by account for each batch job) so that it can be written to the CA IDMS Log. Then CA IDMS statistics can be tied back to other statistics for the same user transaction or program.

The module is supplied as source code. This means you can use the identification information selected by CA or you can tailor it to meet your organization's needs. When combined with the ability to customize the billing reports and the billing file, this exit module gives you control over the content and format of statistical (billing) data taken from the CA IDMS Log.
