C. Specify Logging Options for This Session

The Log Options Menu lets you specify whether screens will be logged from your terminal, another terminal, or multiple terminals.

Action:

Type t to capture screens from your terminal only, and press Enter.

---------------------------- LOG OPTIONS MENU -----------------------13:45:12 ENTER COMMAND ===> t T THIS TERMINAL O ANOTHER TERMINAL M MULTIPLE TERMINALS ENTER ONE OF THE ABOVE OPTIONS AND PRESS ENTER TO CONTINUE OR F3 TO END

Result:

CA Verify for CICS displays the Single Terminal Log menu.

Note: You could have bypassed the Log Options Menu by typing L.T on the Primary Options Menu to go directly to the Single Terminal Log Menu.

Action:

Type the following information on the Single Terminal Log Options menu. This menu lets you specify the name for the series of screens — test stream — you are going to log, and options that affect the logging.

The DDNAME, APPLICATION, MEMBER, and VERSION information identify the test stream.

The DDname (FILENAME for VSE) is the CA Verify data set into which the screens will be logged. Your installation may have many valid DDnames. TCADS is the default and should be available. However, you can tab to this field and overtype it if necessary.
Application and Member are the names you specify for the test stream.
- Tab to the Application field and Type ccc.
- Then tab to the Member field and Type orderapp.
The Version identifies the test stream when multiple test streams have the same DDname, Application, and Member names. Leave 001 as the default.

DESCRIPTION: Describes the test stream. Tab to this field and type up to three lines of any meaningful text.
STOP OPTION: Specifies how you will terminate logging. MAN is the default and indicates that you will stop logging manually. You can also specify a PF key, a PA key, or CLEAR. Leave MAN as the default.
PROCESS WITH RULES: Lets you apply a ruleset to this logging session. If Y is typed in this field, a list of available rulesets will appear when you press Enter. These rulesets contain rules that specify user IDs, terminals, or transaction IDs that are to be included or excluded from the test stream. Since you do not wish to apply a ruleset to this logging session, leave N as the default.
TEST STREAM PROTECTION: Limits access to this test stream by other users. Leave this field blank.
LOG INPUT SCREENS ONLY: Logs only input screens from the terminal to the application. Leave N as the default.
EXTEND TEST STREAM: Specifies whether or not this test stream is to be appended to an existing test stream. Leave N as the default.
RULESET NAME: Contains the name of the ruleset to be used during the logging process, if one was selected. This field will be blank.

When your screen is completed like the one shown next, press Enter.
