Error description

  • When debugging a remote CICS program in Rational Developer for
System z (RDz), the user has several ways to start the CICS
Debug Configuration wizard -- Debug Menu, z/OS Projects view,
CICS Explorer views and Enterprise Service Tools Project
Explorer. Through the CICS Explorer views, the Debug
Configuration can be accessed by selecting programs or a
transaction and then select Debug > Debug Configurations.
However, with the upgrade to 9.5.1 and CICS Explorer 5.3, the
user observed that the Debug menu actions were missing from the
CICS Explorer views.

Local fix

  • Other ways the user can get to the Debug Configurations dialog
include:
1) Typing Debug Configurations into the Quick Access text box in
the
product toolbar, and choosing the option listed next to the word
Menus
(see below)



2) Switching to the Debug perspective and choosing the down
arrow next
to the Debug icon in the toolbar (see below), then selecting
Debug
Configurations.

3. The user can also add the debug toolbar to any perspective
(if its not already there) as follows:
    a. Select Windows > Customize perspective from the main menu
    b.Select the Debug action in the Launch list

Problem summary

  • Debug actions were missing from the context menu CICS Explorer
views in RDz.

Problem conclusion

  • CICS Explorer views were migrated to the new eclipse command
framework for menu contributions, thus causing the debug actions
 to no longer appear.  The debug actions were migrated to the
command framework and are now visible again in the context menu.

Temporary fix
