Terminate the Log Function

CA Verify for CICS stops capturing input and output screens as soon as you request log termination.

For single terminal and other terminal logging, the Stop option determines how logging is terminated. For example, if you specify a PF key, pressing that key will terminate logging.

Multiple terminal logging must be terminated manually via the Inquiry function. You can also terminate single and other terminal logging manually even if you have designated another Stop option.

Follow these steps:

  1. Clear your screen
  2. Type XTCA STOP or access the Primary Options Menu.
  3. Select the Inquiry function.

    CA Verify for CICS displays a list of all functions, as illustrated next.

  4. Type S next to the Log function you want to terminate and press Enter.

See the "Inquiry Function" chapter for a detailed explanation of this menu.

When you request log termination, CA Verify for CICS displays the Log Termination menu. If you are logging more than one test stream from the same terminal and you stop them by the same PF key or by entering XTCA STOP, the Log Termination screen will first display information for the most recently initiated test stream.
