Run an Application Log Test Stream with a Changed APPLID

You must use an automated signon (AUTSIGN) test stream, as described in the Installation Guide. This is necessary because the application log test stream does not begin until the user signs on to the application. Consequently, the connection sequence – for example, LOGON APPLID(applid) – is not logged. Therefore, you must create an application-based automated signon test stream (AUTSIGN=APPLICATION) to perform the connection when the test stream is run.

Be aware of possible mismatches and missing output the first time you run an application log test stream. Because the automated signon test stream has already connected to the application, welcome screens and signon menus will have been encountered already. Either accept the mismatches as permanent changes or use the TCAEXCLD macro to exclude such screens from logging.
