Updating your processes so you can debug programs with z/OS Debugger

After you have completed the tasks in Planning your debug session, you can use the information you have collected to update the following processes:

• Your compilation and linking processes so that programs are compiled with the correct compiler options and suboptions and that the required files are saved (for example, the separate debug file).
• Your library or promotion processes so that files containing information that z/OS® Debugger needs to debug your programs are available.
• Your libraries or security systems so that you have access to the files that z/OS Debugger needs to debug your programs. For example, if you have RACF® security measures, you might need to update them so that z/OS Debugger can access the files it needs.

For more information about how to update these processes, see the following topics:

• Update your compilation, assembly, and linking process
• Update your library and promotion process
• Make the modifications necessary to implement your preferred method of starting z/OS Debugger
