Method 1: Log on to an Alias Applid

Follow these steps:

1. Access the Application Log menu and specify an alias applid as the Real Applid (for example, IMSTEST). Specify the application's normal applid as the Virtual Applid (for example, IMS). A sample Application Log menu follows.

    -----------------------------  APPLICATION LOG  -----------------------11:21:05
    ENTER COMMAND ===>                                                           LP

    REAL APPLID              ===> IMSTEST    (APPLID USERS WILL LOGON TO)          
    VIRTUAL APPLID           ===> IMS        (APPLID USED BY THE APPLICATION)      
    PROCESS WITH RULES       ===> N          (Y/N)                                 
    TEST STREAM PROTECTION   ===>            (R-READ W-WRITE P-PRINT)              
    LOG INPUT SCREENS ONLY   ===> N          (Y/N)                                 
                                                                                   
                                                                                   
                                                                                   
    RULESET NAME:                                                                  
                                                                                   
    F1-HELP        F3-END        F4-RETURN                                        
   

2. Begin logging and instruct users to log on to the alias applid (IMSTEST).
