Include/Exclude tables

The primary method of controlling optimization is to group application IDs (Applids), logical units (LUs—terminal units, controllers, or PTERMS), application/transaction combinations (Applid.Transids), and application/logical unit combinations (Applid.LUs) into lists or tables. After grouping the items, you can include these tables for various types of optimization.

When an LU and the Applid that it is logged on to are included for optimization, the data streams between them are optimized. You can include or exclude tables of LUs (terminal units, controllers, or PTERMS), Applids, application/transactions (Applid.Transids), or application/logical units (Applid.LUs) for several optimization controls:

• Global optimization (whether to optimize at all)
• Imaging optimization
• SCS Printer optimization
• SCS Horizontal Tabs optimization
• PT Order Generation optimization
• SNA Data Compression optimization
• Local Format Storage (LFS) optimization

Data stream optimization is controlled by using include/exclude options that let you specify the following items:

• All CRTs or all printers
• A single LU, Applid, Applid.Transid pair, or Applid.LU pair
• A table of LUs, Applids, Applid.Transid pairs, or Applid.LU pairs

To optimize data streams between an LU and the Applid that it is logged on to, you must include both the LU and Applid for optimization. The techniques that ULTRAOPT uses to optimize a particular data stream depend on the instructions that you give ULTRAOPT by using the Monitor component’s Optimization Control panels or by using the include/exclude tables that are stored in the Virtual Storage Access Method (VSAM) options file, SOPOPT.
