Terminal connects to an AOR that runs an application that does not use a terminal

In this scenario, your terminal (TRMC) connects to an AOR, which you use to set up a debugging profile using either CADP or DTCN. When the application starts, z/OS® Debugger is started and issues and EXEC CICS® START of its display transaction (CDT#) on your terminal (TRMC). Your terminal must be connected directly to the AOR. You cannot connect through CRTE because CICS does not support issuing an EXEC CICS START to a terminal connected through CRTE.

For this scenario to work, the CICS system administrator must complete the following tasks for the AOR:

• Define z/OS Debugger resources in the CICS CSD and install them in the CICS region, as described in Adding support for debugging under CICS, step 1.
• Provide access to these resources, as described in Adding support for debugging under CICS, step 2.a.
• If you are using CADP to manage debugging profiles, then run the correct programs and use the correct CICS start up parameters, as described in Adding support for debugging under CICS, Adding support for debugging under CICS, step 5.d, 6.b, 9.b, and Enabling the CADP transaction.
