A17: EXPLAIN_LOG
XUA can produce a log which contains information about its rulings on logon requests.
If the keyword EXPLAIN_LOG is used and a valid disk file name is entered, XUA will
write logon-attempt outcomes and their explanations including the UAGroup rules
applied to this log. The argument to this keyword is the name of the file where these
explanations will be written.
Syntax:
EXPLAIN_LOG <filename>
XUA will write to the LOG file you specified in the UACONF file only in the production
mode. If you want to test the output in the Test mode, then you can redirect the output
to the filename.
This Example below would write the explain log to a file called ZZEXP.
Example:
EXPLAIN_LOG $SYSTEM.XYGATEUA.ZZEXP
Note: EXPLAIN mode can potentially produce very large quantities of output and take
a lot of system overhead, which can slow system performance. It should only be
undertaken when testing new entries or troubleshooting a problem.
