Terminal (LTERM) accounting record (LAR)

The terminal (LTERM) accounting record (LAR) contains information about the activity of a specific logical terminal (LTERM). In a detailed IRUF, there is one LAR per session. In a summarized IRUF, there is one LAR for each logical terminal within an MainView for IMS customer ID for the entire summary period. This section describes the data contained in each LAR.

Identification fields

A LAR contains four identification fields. The fields can help you associate records with the appropriate customer. They also serve as identifiers in user-written reports. The identification fields are listed alphabetically below, all of which are used in MainView for IMS reports:

  • CUSTOMER ID
  • MVIMS SYSID
  • LTERM
  • TERMINAL TYPE

Timestamp information

For ETO terminals, the timestamp field shows the time between terminal signon and signoff. For dial-up terminals, the timestamp field shows the actual connect time. For leased-line terminals, the connect time is set equal to the IMS session time.

Resource usage data

The LAR contains information about resource usage, including:

  • LTERM name
  • Total connect time for the logical terminal (LTERM)
  • Number of transactions submitted
  • Number of characters transferred
  • Number of message DL/I calls

Note

For a detail record, these values reflect a single connect session. For a summarized record, these values reflect totals of activity for all connect sessions for the logical terminal (LTERM).

User-reserved fields

The LAR contains fields reserved specifically for the user. MainView for IMS does not use these fields.
