The User ID Monitoring Option

When you set monitoring, breakpoints or options for a specific program, transaction, or terminal, CA InterTest for CICS creates an entry for that program, transaction, or terminal in the monitoring table. For releases after Version 5.3, each monitoring table entry also includes a user monitoring option. The user option is .ANY or a specific CICS user ID. The user option indicates for whom the program, transaction, or terminal will be monitored. The following table describes how the value of the user monitoring option affects monitoring and breakpoints.

User Monitoring Option

Description

User ID = .ANY

Everyone is monitored, regardless of the CICS user ID. Breakpoints are directed to the terminals where they were set unless a specific option was set to redirect the breakpoints.

User ID = specific CICS user ID

Monitoring occurs only for the specified user based on the CICS user ID. This restricts the monitoring entry to a single user in a secure CICS system, and lets you move from one terminal to another, preserving breakpoint settings and options.
