Consider the following when defining IOA online monitors:

• The monitor name and the transactions can be specified literally, that is, as a complete name, or can include mask characters. The asterisk (*) represents any number (including 0) of characters. The question mark (?) represents a single character.
• Transactions are associated with a given monitor or a group of monitors as follows:
  • The transaction name specified by the user is matched against the values in all existing monitor definitions until a match is found. The transaction is routed to one of the active monitors that matches the monitor name, based on the method specified in the BALANCE parameter.
  • The pattern matching is done according to the order of the monitor definitions and the order of the transaction names.
