5.2.12 Web User Data File (WEBWUD)

 
 
 The Web User Data (WEBWUD) file is derived from the SMF type
 120, subtype 9 records, User Data section.  Through a
 Websphere API, the application can record any information
 deemed appropriate to further identify the application and
 functions being performed by the Web Request into the SMF
 record.
 
 This file is optional, and can be configured to be stored
 on disk in the Detail database, on Tape only, or both.
 
 It is possible for the application to populate up to five
 2048 byte user fields that are formatted according to the
 users choice.  As the User Areas are found in the SMF record,
 they are written to the WEBWUD file.  This file can be used
 to merge back into other WEB files when this application data
 is required.
 
 Note:  The information in these user fields is available
 during the processing of the SMF data to populate user
 account code fields in the Web Request Activity (WEBWRA) and
 WEB Request Asynch Activity (WEBWAA) files.

 The following sections describe the file's organization, list
 data elements maintained, and provide usage hints.
