Enable or disable logging for a utility by specifying a rule for the application name. The system logs information for any user that logs on under the application name. For example, to log all queries that result from a FastLoad job, submit:

BEGIN QUERY LOGGING ON APPLNAME= 'FASTLOAD';

DBQL first searches for a rule for an application name before searching for rules for the user and account.

Creating logging rules by application name allows control over certain utilities, such as load and unload utilities, regardless of what user/account that the application runs under. For example, if you run utilities under the same users and accounts that are used for interactive queries, creating logging rules for utilities allows you to specify minimal logging for utilities and more extensive logging for interactive users.

The application names you specify with the APPLNAME option are the names the system passes in the reserved query band UtilityName.

The following table lists the UtilityName strings.
