Set Monitoring

The next step is to instruct CA InterTest for CICS to monitor PLIDEMO. As part of monitoring a CICS command‑level program such as PLIDEMO, CA InterTest for CICS automatically prevents all CICS abends during execution. How this works is detailed later when CA InterTest for CICS prevents PLIDEMO from abending because of an ASRA.

There are a few ways to tell CA InterTest for CICS to monitor the program. If you are currently viewing a program's source listing, you can do the following:

• Type monitor on the Command line and press Enter.
• Press PF5 (notice PF5 is listed as Monitor on the Source Listing Profile illustration).

Press PF5 or use the monitor command to begin monitoring the demo program. You can do this from either the Source Listing Profile or Source Listing Display.

The screen momentarily flashes as the request processes. The Source Listing Display screen then reappears.
