How the Log Function Works

Follow these steps:

1. You initiate logging.
2. The first output from USS or the routing application to the terminal being logged will usually be the first screen for that terminal in the test stream. That screen will be followed by input and output screens in any order.
3. Logging continues until you explicitly terminate it.

CA Verify for VTAM can log:

• Single session test streams; for example, a TSO session
• Multiple session test streams; for example, a CICS session followed by a TSO session followed by an IMS/DC session
• An application which passes terminals to other applications
• Multiple test streams at the same time. These test streams can be logged from the same or different terminals. For example, two users can request at the same time that terminal A be logged. CA Verify for VTAM would then create two test streams.

You won't even be aware that logging is taking place. CA Verify for VTAM does not tie up a terminal that is being logged. A single control task, which does not use a terminal, records the screens for all logging.
