Debug Tool for z/OS , V13.1
- A new method for gathering code coverage is added for the generation, viewing, and reporting of code coverage using the Debug Tool mainframe interface (MFI) as the engine. This support is provided for applications written in Enterprise COBOL and Enterprise PLI that are compiled with the TEST compile option and its suboption SEPARATE. This is enabled via the new EQAOPTS CCPROGSELECTDSN, CCOUTPUTDSN and CCOUTPUTDSNALLOC commands.
- Debug Tool is enhanced to provide the automatic start of IMS message processing program (MPP) regions and dynamic routing of transactions. This allows a developer to dynamically start an MPP region, route a transaction to that MPP region and at the end of the transaction shutdown the MPP region created for the developer thus reducing system resources.
- To help with the ease of use of the MFI mode of Debug Tool for some users, an option is added that enables breakpoints, the current line, and the line with found text to be identified by a character indicator. This feature is enabled via a new EQAOPTS ALTDISP command.
- Supports Enterprise COBOL for z/OS , V5.1; Enterprise PL/I for z/OS , V4.4; CICS TS V5.1; DB2 V11; IMS V13; z/OS , V2.1; and C/C++ V2.1.
- Debug Tool now supports JCL for Batch Debugging in the DTSP plug-in. This facility is used to instrument JCL to initiate a debug session from the DTSP plug-in.
- Support is added for an IMS transaction that is associated with a generic ID. A new feature is added to the consolidated Language Environment user exit (EQAD3CXT) to search a new cross-reference table for the user ID of a user who wants to debug a IMS transaction that is started from the web and is associated with a generic ID. This enables Debug Tool to debug these transactions that use a generic ID. The user ID from the cross-reference table is used to find the user's Debug Tool user exit data set (userid.DBGTOOL.EQAUOPTS), which specifies the TEST runtime parameters and the display device address. A new option is added to the Debug Tool Utilities ISPF panel, "C IMS Transaction and User ID Cross Reference Table" to allow each user to update the new cross reference table.
- Support is added for tracing load modules loaded by an application. New commands TRACE LOAD and LIST TRACE LOAD are added for Debug Tool's MFI mode. This set of commands allows the user to get a trace of load modules loaded by the application. Start the trace by issuing TRACE LOAD START. Use LIST TRACE LOAD to display the trace. The trace includes load modules known to Debug Tool at the time the TRACE LOAD START command is entered and all that are loaded while the trace is active. End the trace by issuing TRACE LOAD END. Note that when the trace is ended, all trace information is deleted.
- Support is added for terminating an idle Debug Tool session that uses the Terminal Interface Manager. Debug Tool supports a time-out option (via the new EQAOPTS SESSIONTIMEOUT command), which allows the system programmer to establish a maximum wait time for debug sessions using a dedicated terminal or the Terminal Interface Manager. If the debug session exceeds the specified time limit without any user interaction, the session will be terminated with either a QUIT or QUIT DEBUG.
- Enhanced Debug Tool Coverage Utility 'Create HTML Targeted Coverage Report' allows the user to select from a list of COBOL Program-IDs, ignore changes to non-executable code, and produce a summary of the targeted lines with selectable HTML links.
- Adds IMS information to start and stop messages generated by the EQAOPTS STARTSTOPMSG command.
- Adds EQAOPTS STARTSTOPMSGDSN command and a new Debug Tool Utilities option 'Non-CICS Debug Session Start and Stop Message Viewer' to collect and view Debug Tool debugger session start and stop information.
- Enhanced delay debug mode with a new EQAOPTS DLAYDBGCND command to control CONDITION trapping. In addition, a new EQAOPTS DLAYDBGXRF command is added so that delay debug mode can use the 'IMS Transaction and User ID Cross Reference Table'. Further, NOTEST is now handled in delay debug mode.
- A confirmation message is added to Debug Tool Utilities option 6 'Debug Tool User Exit Data Set' to indicate that the updates have been saved into the EQAUOPTS data set.
- The ON and AT OCCURRENCE commands are enhanced for Enterprise PL/I to support qualifying data.
- Commands are added, LIST LDD and CLEAR LDD, that display and remove LDD commands known to Debug Tool, and LIST CC and CC (START and STOP) that tell the Debug Tool debugger to gather and display code coverage data.
- Two new EQAOPTS commands are added for remote debug mode. The EQAOPTS HOSTPORTS command specifies the specific host port number or range of host port numbers to use on the host for a TCP/IP connection from the host to a workstation when using remote debug mode. The EQAOPTS TCPIPDATADSN command provides the data set name for TCPIP.DATA (via the SYSTCPD DD NAME) when no GLOBALTCPIPDATA statement is configured.
- A timestamp is added to the EQAY999* messages that the Terminal Interface Manager issues if the +T trace flag is on
- Debug Tool now allows for GOTO or JUMPTO for programs compiled with OPT and the NOEJPD suboption of the Enterprise COBOL TEST compile option when SET WARNING setting is OFF.
- An updated DTST transaction is included to write messages to the operator log when a user changes storage. These messages are intended to provide an audit trail of DTST storage changes.
- Support is added for remote Playback through the Playback Toolbar in the Debug View.
Fault Analyzer for z/OS , V13.1
- Reporting of a mismatch sidefile is now more consistent with precise details on which sidefile matching tests have passed and failed.
- Users can now provide a list of programs, which include a generic suffix, of those programs for which sidefile processing should be skipped/excluded.
- The new IDIXSFOR exit is added that allows the automatic forced usage of a sidefile where the only failing sidefile test is the last 12 instructions check.
- Storage usage improvements are made where a single Fault Entry is selected for interactive reanalysis from the ISPF Fault Entry display.
- At the time of a CICS transaction abend analysis, additional information is now gathered about concurrently running CICS tasks and their storage allocations. This information may be useful during storage overlay analysis.
- The Fault Analyzer web interface is redesigned to have a similar look and feel and functionality as the Eclipse plug-in.
- Users can now provide their own abend code and module descriptions which will be automatically included in the Fault Analyzer report.
- To facilitate easier management of fault entries, the MATCH command now supports a TODAY keyword.
- The option to exclude CICS trace entries as well as the existing include option is provided.
- The SHOWFREE command is added to allow users to determine Fault Analyzer's TSO/ISPF storage usage.
- Enhancements are made to allow improved, more consistent sharing of history file data sets across LPARs in a PDSESHARING(NORMAL) environment.
- Changes are made to allow transaction abend analysis on CICS OPEN TCBs.
- Sidefile processing is enhanced to support DWARF information produced by the Enterprise COBOL V5.1 compiler.
- Currency support is added for Enterprise COBOL V5.1, CICS/TS V5.1, IMS V13, and DB2 V11.
- Analysis of abends, which include Java , is improved.
- The new FAISPF option is delivered as consolidation of ISPF specific options - HistCols, InteractiveExitPromptSeconds and InitHist.
- A new utility, IDIDATST, is added that allows for bulk program and sidefile matching. This is particularly useful during initial installation to determine which programs do not have a matching sidefile and hence may require a recompilation in order to generate a matching sidefile.
- Updated and expanded LOOKUP messages now include JES2 and JES3 messages.
File Manager for z/OS , V13.1
- Added ability to create File Manager templates in XML format
- Added support to specify character encoding (CCSID) of text fields in a template
- Support to map SMF record types
- Enhanced File Manager plug-in to work with IMS databases
- Enhanced IMS extract and print utility functions with performance improvements and additional parameters
- Added support for DB2 LOB columns, which includes XML type
- Enabled File Manager DB2 export utility function to accept user-specified SELECT statement
- Added additional DB2 installation options to control uncommitted read
- Added support for DB2 V11, IMS V13, and Enterprise COBOL V5.1
Problem Determination Tools Studio V13.1
Problem Determination Tools Studio V13.1 is updated to include IBM Explorer for z/OS ( z/OS Explorer), V2.1, which utilizes Eclipse 4.2.2, and Java 7. z/OS Explorer is an Eclipse-based integration platform for z/OS users which delivers extensible workstation connectivity to key z/OS functions, by providing simple and secure access to z/OS datasets, IBM zSeries File System (zFS) files, and Job Entry Subsystem (JES) jobs, and output.
A host connections framework is part of z/OS Explorer, which is used to manage connections and user credentials. z/OS Explorer provides an extensible platform where additional tools can be integrated easily to provide a single portal to the management of z/OS-based resources and subsystems. This provides a helpful one-stop shop for operators, systems programmers, and developers, which provides a common and unified approach to their daily tasks, from resource management to determining the cause of problems.
For further information on IBM Explorer for z/OS , V2.1, refer to Software Announcement 213-141, dated April 23, 2013.

Section 508 of the US Rehabilitation Act
The products in this announcement are capable as of its general availability, when used in accordance with IBM documentation, of satisfying the applicable requirements of Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, provided that any assistive technology used with the product properly interoperates with it.
Value Unit-based pricing
Value Unit pricing for eligible IBM System z IBM International Program License Agreement (IPLA) programs enables a lower cost of incremental growth and enterprise aggregation. Each System z IPLA product with Value Unit pricing has a single price per Value Unit and a conversion matrix, called Value Unit Exhibit, for converting from some designated measurement to Value Units. Most commonly, Millions of Service Units (MSUs) is the measurement designated by IBM to be converted to Value Units. Some other measurements are engines or messages. Since MSUs are the most common measurement, that measurement will be used for the remainder of this description.
Value Unit pricing offers price benefits for you. For each System z IPLA program with Value Unit pricing, the quantity of that program needed to satisfy applicable IBM terms and conditions is referred to as the required license capacity. Each of the various Value Unit Exhibits stipulate that the larger your required license capacity, the fewer Value Units per MSU you will need. Value Unit Exhibits are uniquely identified by a three digit code and referred to using the nomenclature VUExxx, where xxx is the three digit code.
Subsequent acquisitions of Value Unit priced programs offer additional price benefits. The quantity of each System z IPLA program that you have acquired is referred to as entitled license capacity. If you wish to grow your entitled license capacity for a System z IPLA program, the calculation to determine additional needed Value Units is based upon the number of Value Units already acquired.
For each System z IPLA program with Value Unit pricing, you should:
- Determine the required license capacity, in MSUs
- Aggregate the MSUs across the enterprise
- Convert the total MSUs to Value Units, using the applicable Value Unit Exhibit
- Multiply the price per Value Unit by the total number of Value Units to determine the total cost
To simplify conversion from the designated measurement to Value Units or vice-versa, use the Value Unit Converter Tool. For additional information or to obtain a copy of the Value Unit Converter Tool, visit the Value Unit Converter Tool website
Note that Value Units of a given product cannot be exchanged, interchanged, or aggregated with Value Units of another product.
To determine the required license capacity for the System z IPLA program you selected, refer to the Terms and conditions section.

Sub-capacity terms and conditions
For each System z IPLA program with Value Unit pricing, the quantity of that program needed to satisfy applicable IBM terms and conditions is referred to as the required license capacity. Your required license capacity is based upon the following factors:
- The System z IPLA program you select
- The applicable Value Unit Exhibit
- The applicable terms
- Whether your current mainframes are full capacity or sub-capacity
For more information on the Value Unit Exhibit for the System z IPLA program you selected, refer to the Ordering information section.

Full-capacity mainframes
In cases where full capacity is applicable, the following terms apply.
Execution-based, z/OS-based, full-machine-based: The required capacity of a System z IPLA program with these terms equals the MSU-rated capacity of the machines where the System z IPLA program executes.
For more information on mainframe MSU-rated capacities, visit
Reference-based: The required license capacity of a System z IPLA program with these terms equals the license capacity of the applicable monthly license charge (MLC) program. This MLC program is called the parent program.
Sub-capacity mainframes
In cases where sub-capacity is applicable, the following terms apply.
Execution-based: The required capacity of a System z IPLA sub-capacity program with these terms equals the capacity of the LPARs where the System z IPLA program executes.
z/OS-based: The required license capacity of a System z IPLA program with these terms equals the license capacity of z/OS on the machines where the System z IPLA program executes.
Reference-based: The required license capacity of a System z IPLA program with these terms equals the license capacity of the applicable monthly license charge (MLC) program. This MLC program is called the parent program.
Full-machine-based: The required license capacity of a System z IPLA program with full-machine-based terms equals the MSU-rated capacity of the machines where the System z IPLA program executes.
For more information on mainframe MSU-rated capacities, refer to The IBM System z Machines Exhibit, (Z125-3901), or visit the Mainframes section of the System z Exhibits website.
For additional information for products with reference-based terms, System z IPLA sub-capacity programs with reference-based terms adds value to the parent program across the environment, regardless of where in the environment the System z IPLA program executes.
An environment is defined as either a single or stand-alone machine or a qualified Parallel Sysplex® . You may have one or more different environments across the enterprise. To determine the required license capacity for each System z IPLA program with referenced-based terms, each environment should be assessed separately.
When a System z IPLA sub-capacity program with reference-based terms is used in a qualified Parallel Sysplex environment, the required license capacity of the System z IPLA program must equal with the license capacity of the parent program across the Parallel Sysplex . Qualified Parallel Sysplex refers to one where MLC pricing is aggregated across the sysplex.
Sub-capacity eligibility
To be eligible for sub-capacity charging on select System z IPLA programs, you must first implement and comply with all terms of either sub-capacity Workload License Charges (WLC) or sub-capacity Entry Workload License Charges (EWLC). To implement sub-capacity WLC or EWLC, a machine must be System z (or equivalent). On that machine:
- All instances of the OS/390 operating system must be migrated to the z/OS operating systems.
- Any licenses for the OS/390 operating system must be discontinued.
- All instances of the z/OS operating systems must be running in z/Architecture® (64-bit) mode.
For that machine, you must create and submit a Sub-Capacity Report to IBM each month. Sub-Capacity Reports must be generated using the Sub-Capacity Reporting Tool (SCRT). For additional information or to obtain a copy of SCRT, visit the System z Software Pricing website
You must comply with all of the terms of the WLC or EWLC offering, whichever is applicable:
- The complete terms and conditions of sub-capacity WLC are defined in the IBM Customer Agreement - Attachment for System z Workload License Charges (Z125-6516).
- The complete terms and conditions for sub-capacity EWLC are defined in the IBM Customer Agreement - Attachment for IBM System z 890 and 800 License Charges (Z125-6587).
Additionally, you must sign and comply with the terms and conditions specified in the amendment to the IPLA contract - Amendment for IBM System z9® and System z Programs Sub-Capacity Pricing (Z125-6929). Once the amendment is signed, the terms in the amendment replace any and all previous System z IPLA sub-capacity terms and conditions.
Sub-capacity utilization determination
Sub-capacity utilization is determined based on the product's own execution as reported to IBM in accordance with the requirements for reporting sub-capacity utilization for products.
On/Off Capacity on Demand (CoD)
To be eligible for On/Off CoD pricing, you must be enabled for temporary capacity on the corresponding hardware, and the required contract, Attachment for IBM System z On/Off Capacity on Demand (Z125-7883) must be signed prior to use.

| Statement of good security practices |
|
IT system security involves protecting systems and information through prevention, detection, and response to improper access from within and outside your enterprise. Improper access can result in information being altered destroyed or misappropriated or can result in misuse of your systems to attack others. Without a comprehensive approach to security, no IT system or product should be considered completely secure and no single product or security measure can be completely effective in preventing improper access. IBM systems and products are designed to be part of a comprehensive security approach, which will necessarily involve additional operational procedures, and may require other systems, products, or services to be most effective. IBM does not warrant that systems and products are immune from the malicious or illegal conduct of any party.
