User Modes

This section explains the five modes: ALL, EXPO, EXP, SARO, and SAR. Two of these modes (EXP and SAR) handle private SYSOUT groups and reports.

A private SYSOUT group or report has one or more distribution identifiers (DIST IDs) linked to it. Only users who have linked DIST IDs can access that data. Private report viewing is the ability to verify DIST IDs of online users before the report selection lists are displayed. This ability provides a security level of the displayed selection list for users.

ALL Mode

ALL mode can retrieve any archived SYSOUT or any archived CA Deliver reports for viewing and printing. No SYSOUTs or reports are restricted, unless by other security (RACF, and so on.).

EXPO Mode

CA Deliver Operations (EXPO) mode allows you to access all reports archived from CA Deliver for viewing and printing. Archived reports initially processed in CA View are not available through this mode.

EXP Mode

CA Deliver (EXP) mode allows you access to only reports archived from CA Deliver that are accessible to your distribution identifier (DIST ID). Archived SYSOUT initially processed in CA View is not available through this mode. With data in one or more of the selection criteria fields, press Enter to display a list of all CA Deliver reports that have characteristics matching the data you entered and are available to your DIST ID.

SARO Mode

SAR Operations (SARO) mode allows you to access all archived SYSOUT for viewing and printing. Reports archived from CA Deliver are not available through this mode.

SAR Mode

SAR mode allows you access to only archived SYSOUT groups that are accessible to your distribution identifier (DIST ID). Archived reports initially processed in CA Deliver are not available through this mode. With data in one or more of the selection criteria fields, press Enter to display a list of all SYSOUT that has characteristics matching the data you entered and is available to your DIST ID.
