Tranaction ID Search

To locate the PREFERENCE volume or volumes where a specific Transaction ID is defined, use F10 Transid Search from the supervisor rules facility.  The Transid Search is useful if you wish to verify that a specific Transaction ID is defined within PREFERENCE, or if you wish confirm that a Transaction ID does not appear in more than one active volume.  Use the Transid Search as follows:

  1. Access the PREFERENCE type command line as supervisor.

  2. Type "rbuild" and press ENTER.   When finished a prompt will appear stating "RULES TABLE CONSTRUCTION COMPLETE".

  3. Type "rules" and press ENTER to access the Supervisor Rules Administration screen.

  4. Press F10 Transid Search.  A prompt should appear at the bottom of the screen stating ENTER TRANSID NAME.

  5. Enter the Transaction ID that you wish to search for at the prompt and press ENTER.  Please note that the search is case-sensitive.

The follow display shows an example of results of a Transid Search for EXMS:

         VOLUMES CONTAINING TRANSIDS MATCHING  EXMS          3:12 PM

=========================================================================

VOLUME (T) (J)  STATUS  (DE)ACTIVATED    LAST MODIFIED     WRITER ID        

----- --- --- -------- -------------    -------------     ---------        jgscrn         inactive   04/25/07        04/23/07         SUPERVISOR        pinell          ACTIVE                    05/25/07         SUPERVISOR     

The display shows that EXMS is defined in two PREFERENCE volumes, jgscrn and pinell.  However, pinell is an ACTIVE volume (used in rules processing) and jgscrn is not.

If a specified transaction is not found, the table will appear empty and the following message appears in the message area:

NO VOLUMES FOUND WITH SPECIFIED TRANSACTION DESCRIPTOR.
