Debug Options Tab

Use this tab to set debug options for a z/OS Batch Application launch configuration.

Fields

Test Options: Select TEST or NOTEST. This option specifies whether to turn on or off debugging capabilities in your program.

Error Options: Select ALL, ERROR, or NONE. This option specifies what conditions need to be met for the debugger to gain control.

Prompt Options: Select PROMPT or NOPROMPT. This option specifies whether to start the debugger immediately after Language Environment® initializes.

Advanced Debug Options, Connect to a specific client: Choose this option to override the connection to the current client. Selecting this option enables the User ID, IP, and Port fields.

Advanced Debug Options, User ID: Specify a user ID to connect to the debug manager. If you specify a user ID, the IP and Port fields are disabled.

Advanced Debug Options, IP and Port: If you do not specify a user ID, you can specify the IP address and port of the client to connect. Specify the TCP/IP port number that is listening for debug sessions on your workstation. The default is 8001.

Advanced Debug Options, Debug Tool compatibility mode: Select this option to run your debug session with IBM® z/OS® Debugger using Debug Tool compatibility mode. In Wazi Developer for Eclipse, you cannot clear this option. For IBM Debug for z/OS, IBM Developer for z/OS, and IBM Developer for z/OS Enterprise Edition, Debug Tool compatibility mode is selected by default in V14.1.2 or later.

Language Environment options: Specify any additional Language Environment (LE) options that your program might need. You can change any Language Environment option that your site allows you to override except the STACK option. For additional information about Language Environment options, see the z/OS Language Environment Programming Reference or contact your systems programmer.

Commands data set: Specify a valid fully qualified data set name that contains the initial source of commands, or click Browse to select a file. Do not enclose the name of the data set in quotation marks (") or apostrophes (').

EQAOPTS file: Specify the name of the data set containing the EQAOPTS commands for your debugging session, or click Browse to select a file.

z/OS Debugger data set: Specify the name of the data set to explicitly add IBM z/OS Debugger data set to the STEPLIB during JCL generation.

Enable tracing: Select to enable tracing for the debugger. A probe trace will be generated in your z/OS UNIX home directory.
