Set the User ID

CA InterTest for CICS monitoring is sensitive to user IDs. Monitor programs and set breakpoints and other monitoring options with the user ID set to .ANY, or the user ID set to a specific CICS user ID (in a secure CICS region). When the user ID is set to .ANY, everyone is monitored and the breakpoints and other monitoring options that you set take effect only if the program executes from the terminal used to set the breakpoints. When the user ID is set to a specific user ID, only that user is monitored, and the breakpoints and other monitoring options are directed to wherever the specified user is logged onto CICS.

User ID=

The default is either the current CICS user, or .ANY. To change the default, perform the following steps:

  1. Type profile on the command line and press Enter, or press PF4 from the Source Listing display, to access the Source Listing Profile screen.
  2. Overtype the entry in the User ID field to specify the CICS user who must execute the program for monitoring and breakpoints to take effect. Valid entries are:
    specific user‑ID

    Monitoring and breakpoints take effect only when the specific CICS user executes the program.This establishes a personal debugging session for the CICS user and directs breakpoints to the terminal on which the user is signed on.

    .ANY

    Monitoring and breakpoints take effect when anyone executes the program.

  3. Press Enter to process the new user ID setting and to return to the Source Listing Display.

Note: If you override the default user ID setting, check the Profile before each Source Listing Session and before you set additional breakpoints during a test session.
