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 a BMC AMI Ops Monitor for IMS Offline 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, all of which are used in BMC AMI Ops Monitor for IMS Offline reports are as follows:

  • 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


Important

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. BMC AMI Ops Monitor for IMS Offline does not use these fields.
