Type T and U (Terminal) Entries

Type T and U (terminal) entries, described in the following table, contain 164 bytes. Type T entries supply information about the terminals in session with an application that CA NetSpy was monitoring. CA NetSpy starts collecting this data at the beginning of the interval or when the terminal session is initiated, whichever is later.

Type U entries supply information about the terminals that ended sessions in the middle of an interval. CA NetSpy starts collecting this data at the beginning of the interval or when the terminal session is initiated, whichever is later, and continues to collect it until the session ends. CA NetSpy writes data to type U entries at the end of each base interval.

Note: Type U entries are optional for SMF recording. To collect them, you must specify TYPEU=YES on the SMF statement in the INITPRM member of the startup JCL. Type U records are always written to a log file.
