Multiple Terminal Logging Considerations

When logging multiple terminals:

• The terminals to be logged MUST be listing in a LOGGING Ruleset. See Add a Multiple Terminal Logging Rule Action.
• Bear in mind that at least 8 KB per terminal for the Run function and 2 KB to 8 KB for the Print and Browse functions are required. You can reduce the Run requirements to 100 bytes per terminal by using the Batch Run function or the online Run function with the Stop at Mismatches option set to N.
• CA Verify for VTAM tries to ensure that the same concurrences exist when test streams are run as when they were logged. However, timing considerations could possibly cause problems because CA Verify for VTAM runs test streams so much faster than when they were logged.

  For example, suppose an operator at Terminal A adds an item to a file. Next, an operator at terminal B inquires on the same item. If the inquiry occurs after a confirmation message has been sent to Terminal A, CA Verify for VTAM guarantees the correct sequence during the Run function. However, if the inquiry occurs before the confirmation message has been sent, during the Run function the inquiry may actually occur before the item has been added.
