This topic describes the process for debugging a COBOL CICS® transaction.
To prepare for debugging, you need to locate the process
ID for your CICS application
server and copy your program:
- Open the CICSTERM - CICS server selection window
and select the correct CICS server
for your CICS region.
- In the CICS Client 3270 Terminal Emulator, enter
the following command in the CICS terminal:
CEMT INQUIRE TASK
Note: Make
sure you type CEMT in all capital letters. Otherwise, the command
will not work.
The output of this command is the process
ID for your CICS application
server. You attach to this process for the purpose of debugging.
- To make a new copy of the program, enter the following command
in the CICS Client 3270 Terminal Emulator:
CEMT SET PROGRAM(TIMEZONE) NEW
This
command unloads TIMEZONE.ibmcob from the CICS application server.
Rational® Developer
for System z® does not support
local debug or TXSeries on the Linux platform.
Note: The process for debugging a PL/I CICS transaction is similar. The only difference
is that the name of the PL/I program is PROGRAM_NAME.IBMPLI (where PROGRAM_NAME is
the name of your program) instead of TIMEZONE.ibmcob.
