Log Function › Apply Rules to the Logging Session

Apply Rules to the Logging Session

Before initiating a logging session, you can choose to apply a set of rules to this session. Logging rules allow you to specify a list of user IDs, terminals, or application IDs that are to be included or excluded from the test stream. Logging rules can be created in system, application, or test stream rulesets.

Important! You cannot add a new ruleset when you are setting up for the Log function. You must create the ruleset using the Maintain Rules selection from the Primary Options menu before performing the log session.

To apply a ruleset to the logging session, type Y in the Process With Rules field on the Terminal Log Screen, as explained in the section Log One or More Terminals. When you complete the logging information on the screen and press Enter, you will be prompted to select or specify the name of the ruleset to apply to this session.

Note: There is a hierarchy in applying rulesets. During logging, system rulesets are applied first, application next, and test stream rulesets last. During a run, test stream rulesets are applied first, application next, and system rulesets last.
