Log Function › Terminate the Log Function

Terminate the Log Function

CA Verify for VTAM stops capturing input and output screens as soon as you request log termination.

For single terminal and other terminal logging, the Stop option determines how logging is terminated. For example, if you specify a PF key, pressing that key will terminate logging.

Multiple terminal logging must be terminated manually using the Inquiry function. You can also terminate single and other terminal logging manually even if you have designated another Stop option.

Follow these steps:

1. Clear your screen
2. Type XTCA STOP or access the Primary Options Menu.
3. Select the Inquiry function.

   CA Verify for VTAM displays a list of all functions, as illustrated next:

4. Type S, P, or D next to the log functions you want to terminate and press Enter.

   S

   Stops logging without disconnecting the terminal from the application.

   P

   Stops logging and passes the terminal to the application to which it is currently connected. This option disrupts the session and is primarily useful for non-prime time sessions or when users have been warned to expect the disruption.

   D

   Stops logging and disconnects the terminal from the application.

   Note: If another log function is active, P or D is treated as S; that is, the log function is terminated but the terminal is not disconnected from the application. For a detailed explanation of this screen see the chapter "Inquiry Function".

When you request log termination, CA Verify for VTAM displays the Log Termination menu. If you are logging more than one test stream from the same terminal and you stop them by the same PF key or by typing XTCA STOP, the Log Termination screen will first display information for the most recently initiated test stream.
