Debugging non-Language Environment IMS MPPs

You can debug IMS message processing programs (MPPs) that do not run in Language Environment® by doing the following tasks:

  1. Verify that your system is configured correctly and start a new region. See Verifying configuration and starting a region for non-Language Environment IMS MPPs for instructions.
  2. Choose a debugging interface. See Choosing an interface and gathering information for non-Language Environment IMS MPPs for instructions.
  3. Run the EQASET transaction, which identifies the debugging interface you chose and enables debugging. See Running the EQASET transaction for non-Language Environment IMS MPPs.
  4. Start the IMS transaction that is associated with the program you want to debug.

After you finish debugging your program, you can do one of the following:

  • Continue debugging another program.
  • Disable debugging and continue running the region for other tasks.
  • Disable debugging and shut down the region. If you want to debug an IMS programs, you have to repeat tasks 2 to 4.
