Specify the Virtual Terminal Assignment

For each real terminal you want to log, you can assign a specific or generic virtual terminal. These virtual terminals will also be used when the test stream is run.

Use = as a generic character to replace any character. For example, if you specify VTERM==, CA Verify for VTAM will use any virtual terminal beginning with the characters VTERM followed by up to two characters; for example, VTERM6, VTERM01, VTERM02, and so on.

Assigning a virtual terminal is important if the application you are logging has terminal name or other terminal characteristic dependencies. The virtual terminal specification will be saved with the test stream so that CA Verify for VTAM can use the same assignment when the test stream is run. A generic specification is recommended to avoid conflicts when test streams specifying the same virtual terminal are run concurrently.

You can change the virtual terminal assignment by editing the test stream.

Leave the virtual terminal field blank if it doesn't matter which virtual terminals are used for logging. In this case, CA Verify for VTAM will use virtual terminals specified at installation.

When you are finished, press Enter to add the information to the rule; press PF3 to return to the Rules Menu.
