5.3.1.3 WLGSAL Usage Considerations

The WLGSAL file records detail auditing of events as they
occur.  This file provides information such as who accessed
the web page, what web page was accessed, when the web page
was accessed, and the quantity of data transferred.

The "Host Name or IP Address" can be up to 254 bytes, if the
DNS resolver is active at your site. The data for this field
is divided into two CA MICS elements, SALHSTIP (first 200
bytes) and SALHSTI2 (remaining 54 bytes). SALHSTI2 is turned
off by default in the file.  If you have a "Host Name or IP
Address" field longer than 200 bytes, the CA MICS Web
Analyzer daily processing will issue warning messages in
MICSLOG.

The following checklist must be completed in order to
activate the element (SALHSTI2) and to retrofit databases:

1. Change the DETAIL time-span flag from N to 0 (zero) as
   shown below:

   NAME SALHSTI2    00  0 N N N N   Host Name or IP Address 2

2. Submit sharedprefix.MICS.CNTL(WEBCGEN)

3. Retrofit all your WLGSAL files in online databases where
   this file is active. You only need to add the SALHSTI2
   element.
