Specifying Interception Points

Specify interception points as follows:

  1. Specify whether the Primary Interception Panel is displayed for the intercepted request, before the interception, after the interception, or both before and after.
  2. If requesting monitor mode, or optionally, if requesting local or remote mode, specify criteria to limit the interception of requests.
  3. When you have specified the interception criteria, press Enter. If no errors are found the Debugging Facility returns the message: 
     ** REQUEST SERVICED **
  4. If in local mode, clear the screen and enter the transaction ID of the program to debug and any input data required by the program.

The program executes normally until it issues a request meeting the interception criteria. At this point, CA Datacom CICS Services displays the DBUG Primary Interception Panel panel.
