Issue/Introduction:

Two users issue the same CTRANLOG command in Sysview V16.0: CTRANLOG DATE 2020/07/29 TIME 11:50:00 WEBSERVICE S*

The first one gets the expected result, the only transactions listed are matching WebServices starting with "S*".

The second user gets the unfiltered list of all transactions instead. It seems that the WEBSERVICE parameter is just ignored.

Cause:

The user that gets the unfiltered list was using the default masking characters as defined in the default profile while the other user was using a customized setting. 

 

Environment:

Release : 16.0

Component : SYSVIEW

Resolution:

Set the same masking character for both users  :

SET VLMASKCHAR  *                             ( VLMaskchar  -  Specifies the special character to be used as the variable length masking character)
                  |                                                     

SET FLMASKCHAR   %                           ( FLMaskchar  -  Specifies the special character to be used as the fixed length masking character)
