Procedures for Logging an Application

Logging an application lets you log all the terminals for a particular application without specifying most of the terminal names and without incurring the overhead associated with logging all the terminals in a network.

Follow these steps:

  1. Recycle the application and change its applid. For example, change CICSTST to XXXXTST. Then specify CICSTST as the REALAPPLID and XXXXTST as the VIRTAPPLID. When logging begins, users of CICSTST will be logged.
  2. Change the USS table or routing application to translate the applid. For example, translate CICSTST to PASSTST. Then specify PASSTST as the REALAPPLID and CICSTST as the VIRTAPPLID. When logging begins, users of CICSTST will be logged.
  3. Specify another applid as the REALAPPLID. For example, specify PASSTST as the REALAPPLID and CICSTST as the VIRTAPPLID. Instruct users to log onto PASSTST rather than CICSTST. This method is recommended if you want to log some of the application activity but you don't know the names of the terminals you want to log.
