CICS Debug Trace Facility Considerations

The Debug Trace Facility may be executed under CICS to test CICS online and server applications. Under CICS, external subroutine logic such as DL/I and CICS calls may be tested. The Temporary Storage Queue (TSQ) Profile Manager can be used too. Be aware that using the Debug Trace Facility under CICS may result in long-running transactions in your CICS region.

Also note that CICS applications using runtimes from AllFusion Gen 7 or later no longer require a Transaction Work Area so the transaction's definition TWAsize can be set to zero.
