UIE Discovery commands

This section explains how to use the UIE Discovery process to examine fields that you can use to generate applications and Suites.

UIE can adapt to your needs when you are grouping transactions and processes to form Applications and Suites.

For each subsystem type (such as CICS, Db2, IMS, and so on), UIE enables you to select one or two identifying fields that you can use to group transactions into applications.

However, at some sites, you might have difficulty identifying or understanding the naming conventions associated with transaction processes and the names assigned to users and outside connections. The purpose of the UIE Discovery process is to provide a means of examining all of the fields that you can use to generate Applications and Suites so that you can establish meaningful groupings within the context of your business unit.

UIE provides a series of commands that you can use to extract character field data from the input sources. The Discovery process is designed to run as a standalone process and allocate a minimum of files for processing. The program terminates when all input files are read, and the requested fields are displayed in the requested formats. You can run the Discovery process by using the SETOPTION and APPLDISCOVER commands.
