Log Printers or Acquired Devices

Follow these steps:

1. Bring down the application.
2. Modify your application so that it acquires CA Verify for VTAM's virtual terminals instead of real devices.
3. Access the Application Log menu. Fill in the Real Applid and Virtual Applid fields as illustrated in the following three screens and press Enter.

   CA Verify for VTAM displays the Virtual Terminal Assignment menu.

4. Specify the virtual terminals that correspond to the real devices as per your application modifications in Step 2. A sample Virtual Terminal Assignment menu, which assigns virtual terminals to PRT01, TRM001, and TRM002, follows.

     PRESS ENTER TO CONTINUE OR PF3 TO MODIFY LIST 
     PF: 3-END 7-UP 8-DOWN 
     
     
     
     
     
     
   
   

5. Press Enter to begin the log.
6. Bring the application back up. The application will acquire CA Verify for VTAM's virtual terminals and CA Verify for VTAM, in turn, will acquire the real devices.

Note: You can use the TCAXLATE macro, which is coded at installation time, to automatically pick the virtual terminals. However, verify that the macro is coded to pick the virtual terminals you have specified to your application.
