Set Breakpoints for Both FrontEnd and BackEnd Processes

To set breakpoints for both front‑ and back‑end processes that are running concurrently, follow the steps outlined in the previous sections. However, make sure that two real terminals are available for receiving breakpoint displays: one for breakpoints from the front‑end process, and one for breakpoints from the back‑end process. For example, if both processes are running in the same CICS region, you might enter the following commands from TER1:

CNTL=ON,PROG=FRONTEND,UBP=#1
CNTL=ON,PROG=BACKEND,UBP=((#1),F=VIR1,T=TER2)

Breakpoint displays for program FRONTEND are sent to TER1, the terminal at which the command was issued. Breakpoint displays for program BACKEND are sent to TER2.

If the back‑end process is running in a remote CICS region, perform these steps:

1. Set monitoring and breakpoints for the front‑end process in the local region.
2. Set monitoring and breakpoints for the back‑end process in the remote region from any real terminal.
