Examples of selection criteria

The following examples show typical selection criteria and explain the expected results.

Example one

  • Only transactions that begin with fic will be returned.
  • Because the Uppercase names field is blank, the value is converted to uppercase before being compared. So only transactions beginning with FIC will be returned.
  • Transactions must also have a response time greater than .001. The response time has no upper limit, so if several FIC transactions are found but none have a response time greater than .001, no records will be returned.
  • Only transactions that were run since midnight on March 31, 2019 and up to the current moment will be searched.
  • A maximum of 100 records will be excluded for each IBM CICS in the context.
  • Up to 1000 records for each PAS in the context could be returned.

After pressing Enter, the exclude record count message was displayed because the number of excluded records reached the value specified in the Exclude Count field–100–before all the records within the specified search period were searched, or 1000 records were selected.

BBKT6E03I The exclude record count of 100 has been reached for BCVCW62C.

After pressing Enter, matching records were displayed in the CHISTH view, from newest to oldest since the default value for the Read From field is specified as END. 

Example two

  • Transactions that begin with Pay will be returned, but not the Payr transaction.
  • Case matters because Uppercase Names is set to NO and the mask type for both entries is transaction.
  • Transactions must also have used the DB2 resource or the IMS resource.
  • Only transactions that were run from March 31, 2019 to April 7, 2019 between the hours of 8:00 A.M. and 6:00 P.M. will be searched. The value for the Read From field is specified as START so the search will start from the value in the Start date/time field and records are displayed from oldest to newest.
  • A maximum of 2000 records could be excluded for each system in the context.
  • A maximum of 1000 records could be returned for each system in the context.
