ASID needed as condition item in IF-THEN statement

With the IF-THEN statement we often process messages that are intercepted by NetView Automation. To evaluate the message, there are several condition items available. However, if a specific task that has been started several times under the same jobname, ASID is required for identification for further processing. But the ASID is not available as a condition item.
It would be very helpful for us if the ASID could be used as a condition item in the future.

    Hi Pamela,
    that would be fine with me. However, the offsets of all fields of the AIFR should be documented. Can this also be done?

    Hi Dirk, We will add the offset to our documentation. Is that adequate to close this Idea?

    Hi Pamela, in the meantime, we have also come up with the idea of using ACQUIRE and IFRAUWAS. However, we realized that the documentation could be better. It is not clear at which offset IFRAUWAS can be found in the AIFR. Perhaps this could be documented more clearly.

    Hi Dirk, Have you looked at using ACQUIRE in the automation table using IFRAUWAS, which provides the ASID? If not, will that satisfy your requirement? Please be aware that the field is binary.
