Method 2: Modify the Application's Applid

Follow these steps:

1. Bring down the application.
2. Modify its applid to an alias (for example, MSTEST).
3. Bring the application back up using the alias applid.
4. Access the Application Log menu. Specify the application's normal applid (for example, IMS) as the Real Applid and specify the alias applid (IMSTEST) as the Virtual Applid. A sample Application Log menu follows.
