Method 3: Modify the USS Table or Routing Application

Follow these steps:

1. Modify your USS table or routing application to translate the application's normal applid to an alias (for example, IMS to IMSTEST).
2. Access the Application Log menu and specify the alias applid (for example, IMSTEST) as the Real Applid and the normal applid (for example, IMS) as the Virtual Applid. A sample Application Log menu follows.

    RULESET NAME:                                                                  
                                                                                  
    F1-HELP        F3-END        F4-RETURN                                        
   

3. Initiate logging.
4. When users log on to the normal applid (IMS), the applid will be translated to the alias applid (IMSTEST) and logging will begin.
