Monitor with a Specific User ID

When you set monitoring for a program with a specific user ID, CA InterTest for CICS only monitors the program when it is executed by that user. In addition, breakpoints display at whatever terminal that user is signed on to. Of course, this option requires a secure CICS region and the user to be signed on to CICS when testing the program.

Monitoring with your specific user ID has the following advantages over monitoring with user ID=.ANY:

• You can change terminals and your breakpoints and monitoring options will follow you
• Your testing will not interfere with any one else testing the same program
• You can use a multi‑session terminal emulator package and have breakpoints directed to whatever terminal session you are using
