How the Log Function Works

Follow these steps:

  1. You initiate logging.
  2. The next input from each terminal being logged will be the first screen for that terminal in the test stream. Logging always begins with an input screen for each terminal, followed by input and output screens in any order.
  3. Logging continues until you explicitly terminate it

CA Verify for CICS can log multiple test streams at the same time. These test streams can be logged from the same or different terminals. For example, two users can —at the same time—request that terminal A be logged. CA Verify for CICS would then create two test streams.

You won't even be aware that logging is taking place. CA Verify for CICS does not tie up a terminal that is being logged. A single control task, which does not use a terminal, records the screens for all logging.
