Specify a Model Test Stream

The model test stream that you will use depends on the type of ruleset it will be used with.

• For a test stream ruleset, the test stream is used as the model (the default). Here, the model test stream will have the same name as the test stream ruleset.
• For a system ruleset, you must create a model test stream with this name:

  ddname.SYSTEM.#TSTREAM.001

  ddname must match the DDname used in the system ruleset.

• For an application ruleset, you must create a model test stream with this name:

  ddname.application.#TSTREAM.001

  ddname and application must match the DDname and application node used in the application ruleset.

The use of model test streams and model screens is optional. A model screen can be selected at any time during the rule creation process. If a model has not been selected at the time you want to use it, you will be prompted to select a model screen to use.

The next section explains how to locate and select a model screen. Once you have specified a model test stream and selected a model screen, you are ready to use the modeling feature as explained in the section Use the Modeling Feature in the chapter "Rules Function".
