5.3.3.3 WLGRFL Usage Considerations

The WLGRFL file defines who referred a request for the
resources that were accessed.  Information contained in this
file is similar to information contained in the WLGSAL file.
(See section 5.3.1 of this guide for information on the
WLGSAL file.)  Due to the information being of a similar
nature, the DETAIL time-span in this file is not kept, rather
only time-spans at the higher levels.

Special considerations or techniques related to using the
WLGRFL file are provided below:

1. The WLGRFL file is turned off at the DETAIL time-span in
   the sharedprefix.MICS.GENLIB(WEBGENIN) member.  The file
   line in WEBGENIN appears as:

     o  FILE RFL   00  1   N E Y Y N Y Y Y Referer Log file

   In order to turn on the file at the DETAIL time-span, it
   will be necessary to change the "N" in the DETAIL
   time-span to a "Y".  The "E" in the DAYS time-span must be
   retained, as the file requires special processing.  The
   new file line in WEBGENIN appears as:

     o  FILE RFL   00  1   Y E Y Y N Y Y Y Referer Log file.

   After making these change you must submit the following
   jobs:

     sharedprefix.MICS.CNTL(WEBCGEN)

     prefix.MICS.CNTL(COPYLIBU)

     prefix.MICS.CNTL(CYCLEGEN)

2. 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, RFLHSTIP
   (first 200 bytes) and RFLHSTI2 (remaining 54 bytes).
   RFLHSTI2 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. If you want to activate

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

   A. Change the time-span flags as shown below for RFLHSTI2
      and the two elements that must follow in sort sequence,
      RFLLPORT, ENDTS.

      NAME RFLHSTI2   00  9 9 9 8 7 Host Name or IP Address 2
      NAME RFLLPORT   00  10 10 10 9 8 Client Port
      NAME ENDTS      99  11 0 0 0 0

   B. Submit sharedprefix.MICS.CNTL(WEBCGEN)

   C. Retrofit all your WLGRFL files in online databases
      where this file is active. You only need to add the
      RFLHSTI2 element.
