Objectives Up on su ccessfu l com p letion of this cou rse you w ill be able to:
- Com p ile and link p rogram s for u se w ith XPEDITER/ CICS.
- Use XPEDITER to analyze and d ebu g CICS p rogram s, ranging from
sim p le ASRA (S0C7) abend s to m ore com p licated abend s involving
LIN Ked p rogram s, XCTLed p rogram s, non -term inal STARTed tasks and
non-term inal triggered p rogram s started from DCT triggers and MQ
triggers.
- Use XPEDITER/ CICS p rim ary and line com m and s to: set breakp oints,
exam ine and m od ify d ata, alter p rogram logic, trou bleshoot p rogram
errors, analyze the execu tion of you r p rogram s, and m ore.
- Use XPED and XPSP transactions to tr ou ble shoot errors and follow
p rogram logic.
- Setu p and u se test scrip ts to sim p lify testing and d ebu gging.
Overview XPEDITER / CICS is a d ebu gging tool that lets you analyze, test and
d ebu g CICS ap p lications ru nning in a CICS environm ent. You w ill learn
how to view and alter test p rofiles, interru p t a ru nning p rogram and
exam ine storage, step throu gh a p rogram line-by-line, anim ate p rogram
execu tion, restart p rogram execu tion at a d ifferent instru ction, trace logic
flow , byp ass u nnecessary p rogram cod e, m onitor, d isp lay and m od ify
p rogram variable contents, and m ore.
This cou rse u ses a variety of CICS COBOL p rogram s to illu strate the
d ebu gging of variou s abend s and logic errors, inclu d ing CICS p rogram s
w ith START, LIN K, XCTL, and triggered CICS p rogram s. This cou rse
focu ses on d ebu ggin g and analyzing COBOL/ CICS ap p lications. Op tional
exam p les m ay inclu d e DB2 and MQ.
Prerequisites Stu d ents need to be able to u se TSO and JCL and to w rite COBOL/ CICS
p rogram s. Stu d ents are exp ected to know Xp ed iter for TSO and Batch.
Format Lectu re and extensive hand s-on w orkshop s reinforce the lectu res and
d em onstrations.
