Set the Debug Session Settings for a CICS Project

Use the CA InterTest™ Debug Settings dialog to specify the settings to debug a CICS project.

Follow these steps:

  1. Locate and select the CICS project in the CA InterTest™ Debug view.

  2. Right-click and select Configure Session Debug Settings.
    The CA InterTest™ Debug Settings dialog opens.

  3. Enter values in the following fields:

    • CA InterTest™ Server
      Lists the existing server connections to a set of servers that have been defined. Select an CA InterTest™ server from the drop-down list.

    • CICS Application ID
      Specifies the CICS APPLID, which is the name by which it is known in the intercommunication network; that is, its netname.

    • InterTest Monitoring Settings
      Lists all the supported request breakpoints. Check the box next to the request breakpoint that you want to use.

      Note: For more information about request breakpoint settings, see the CA InterTest and SymDump documentation. Click Expand All to display the contents of the selected CICS project to the node level.

    • Do not show during debug startup
      Skips the display of the CA InterTest™ Debug Settings dialog when you click the Start Debug Session toolbar icon on the CA InterTest™ Debug view toolbar. Check this box if you do not want to specify your debug settings for a subsequent debug session.

      Note: To undo this option when starting a debug session, open the CA InterTest™ Debug Settings dialog, clear this check box, and click Finish.

      Default: Off

    • [Optional] User ID
      Specifies a value if you want to debug a CICS program or transaction as it executes for a specific CICS user logon ID. You cannot modify this value during an active debugging session.

    • [Optional] TERMID
      Allows you to specify a CICS terminal to the debug session. You cannot modify this value during an active debugging session.
      Default: .ANY

  4. Click Finish to close the dialog.
