Terminate or Suspend a Debug Session

You can stop the current debug session any time.

To stop an active batch debug session

1. Click the Cancel Debug Session icon on the InterTest Debug view toolbar.

   The Select Termination Object dialog for the batch project opens.

2. Select one of the following options and then click Finish:
   • Cancel debugging—Terminates the active z/OS job completely. You cannot restart the job but you can submit a new job to debug your programs.
   • Suspend debugging—Terminates the debug session and places the job on the batch link queue.

     Note: You can restart the debug session any time. To restart a suspended session, click the Start Debug Session toolbar icon on the InterTest Debug view.

To stop an active CICS debug session

1. Click the Cancel Debug Session icon on the InterTest Debug view toolbar.

   The Select Termination Object dialog for the CICS project opens.

2. Select one of the following options under Abend Current task:
   • No Dump—Instructs CA InterTest CICS to abend (terminate) the program, but does not generate a CICS system dump.
   • Regular Dump—Abends the CICS program and generates a CICS system dump.
   • Use Abend code—Abends the program with the abend code you specify. Select this option and type the abend code you want to use.
3. Click Finish.

Though you have terminated the CICS program with an abend, you may still be in a CA InterTest CICS debug session. You can either restart the task or suspend your debug session.

To suspend the debug session

1. Click the Cancel Debug Session icon on the InterTest Debug view toolbar.

   The Select Termination Option dialog opens.

2. Select one of the following options under Suspend debugging:
   • Disconnect—Suspends the debug session, but your programs remain in the monitored state and all breakpoints remain in place.
   • Disconnect and Remove breakpoints—Suspends the debug session and removes all breakpoints, but the programs remain in a monitored state.
   • Disconnect and Remove monitors—Suspends the debug session and unmonitors your programs. This option also removes all your breakpoints and any other debug session settings.
3. Click Finish.
