Overview
The Debugging CICS Programs course looks at several different CICS supplied transactions and system facilities that can be used to identify, and diagnose problems. The CEMT command is discussed in length, providing examples that show how CICS resource details are displayed and updated. The invoking of CICS debugging transactions and interpretation of results is covered, as well as the use of system dumps and traces.
Audience
Application developers and systems administrators whose role is to identify and resolve CICS applications or system problems.
Prerequisites
Completion of the Programming for Recovery course, or equivalent knowledge.
Objectives
- After completing this course, the student will be able to:
- Describe how CEMT commands can be used to display, and manipulate CICS resources
- Identify CICS supplied transactions that can be used for debugging purposes
- Explain how CICS dumps and traces are invoked
