Set special options to alter the standard CA InterTest for CICS monitoring procedures. Remove the special options to reinstate the default monitoring rules.
To set or remove protection options, access the appropriate Monitoring submenu to which the monitoring option applies:
|
Option |
Used For Monitoring |
|---|---|
|
2.1 |
Programs |
|
2.2 |
Transactions |
|
2.3 |
Terminals |
On the Monitoring submenu, enter the program names, transaction codes, or terminal names and the user ID for whom the entry will be monitored. Then select the Special option using S, and press Enter. The Special Options screen opens.
You can specify many options on this screen. The equivalent option used in CNTL transaction‑based commands is specified in parentheses.
Source Listing Breakpoint (SLB)—Specifies that the Source Listing Breakpoint screen be displayed rather than the detailed breakpoint display screen.
No file updating (NUP)— Specifies that a monitored program not update any files. This option only affects VSAM and BDAM files; databases are unaffected.
Reentrancy check (RNT)—Prevents a program from modifying its own code.
Follow monitoring (FOL)—Instructs CA InterTest for CICS to continue monitoring a program even if it branches directly to another program (wild branch). All monitoring options remain in effect. Specify the following:
Note: The FOL option should not be specified if control is passed to a program by a LINK or XCTL instruction. Such a program is monitored only if monitoring was specified for it.
Number of times to be monitored (MUS)—Limits the number of times a program should be monitored.
Limit total size of CICS storage (MXS)—Limits the amount of storage, including program storage, a program acquires.
Limit total number of CICS requests (MXR)—Limits the number of requests a transaction issues. This option is useful when a program is in a loop that includes a CICS request.
Setting for Structure Display Format (SDF)—Use this option to override, by program, the global default setting. Specify the following:
HEX to display data in hexadecimal / character format.
DATA to display data in Structure Display Format
Set local automatic breakpoint (ABP)— Activates the automatic breakpoint facility for a particular program, transaction, or terminal.
Specify the terminal to receive automatic breakpoint displays. An asterisk, *, routes the display to the current terminal. A termid routes the display to a particular terminal. .ANY routes the display to all terminals. OFF instructs CA InterTest for CICS to abend the task instead of halting it at an automatic breakpoint.
Note: This option is useful when you do not want the breakpoint display routed to the terminal where the program is running or when the display cannot be routed to that terminal (for example, a non‑terminal task or a task running on a non‑3270 terminal). In those cases, specify the terminal to which breakpoint displays should be routed. The local automatic breakpoint option is also useful in a production environment when the global Automatic Breakpoint facility is disabled and you want to monitor a specific program, transaction, or terminal.
Limit monitoring (TON)—Specifies that the program be monitored and that the special options, if specified, take effect only when the program executes at the current terminal (*), at a specific terminal (termid), or without a terminal (.NO).
User ID (or .ANY) who will execute the program (USR)—Specifies that the program be monitored and that special options, if specified, take effect only when the program is executed by any user (.ANY) or a specific user (a CICS user ID).
Once you have specified the required information, press Enter. You are returned to the monitoring submenu where you selected the Protect option.
This section describes how to remove special options from a status report or from the menu.
