Set Monitoring and Breakpoints for a BackEnd Process

Turn on monitoring as usual for a back‑end process running in a local CICS region.

To set breakpoints for a back‑end process running in a local region, specify both the terminal at which the process is running and the terminal to receive breakpoints, as follows:

• Term ID where breakpoints take effect: (F=)

  The virtual terminal assigned by CICS. Specify either an actual virtual terminal name or .ANY if the terminal is assigned from a pool and its name is not known.

• Term ID that receives the breakpoints: (T=)

  The real terminal to which breakpoints should be sent.

It is important that breakpoints not be sent to a virtual terminal because this could disrupt the application dialog screen flow.

If the back‑end process is running in a remote CICS region, turn on monitoring in the remote region and ensure that the terminal that receives breakpoints is a real terminal connected to the remote region.
