Set Request Breakpoints

To set request breakpoints, perform the following steps:

  1. Select option 2 Monitoring on the Primary Option Menu. CA InterTest displays the Monitoring Menu.
  2. Select option 1 Programs. CA InterTest displays the Program Monitoring screen.

  3. In the Program field, type the name of the program for which you want to set request breakpoints.
  4. Type an s to the left of the RBP option (request breakpoints). Press Enter.

    CA InterTest displays the Request Breakpoint Selection menu on which you specify the type of request breakpoint, such as: all CICS commands, File Control and Task Control.

    Subsequent menus prompt you for the specific command, such as all File Control commands, READ, WRITE, REWRITE, and so on.

    Note: Type an x in front of each type of command for which you want to set request breakpoints.

    After setting your request breakpoints, PF4 returns you to the Primary Option Menu. If you came from a Source Listing, PF3 returns you to your source.
