Full-screen mode using the Terminal Interface Manager
- This mode is not applicable to IBM® Developer z/OS® (non-Enterprise Edition).
- This mode does not support Go programs and 64-bit programs. Use remote debug mode instead to debug these programs.
Full-screen mode using the Terminal Interface Manager provides the same interactive full-screen interface that full-screen mode provides and enables you to debug types of programs that you could not debug with full-screen mode. For example, you can debug a COBOL batch job running in MVS/JES, a Db2® Stored Procedure, an IMS transaction running on a IMS MPP region, or an application running in UNIX System Services.
The Terminal Interface Manager (TIM) is a component of z/OS Debugger that provides communication between the debugger, which controls an application program as it runs, and a terminal session where you interact with the debugger. To use the TIM you connect a 3270 terminal session to the TIM.
The debugger displays on that terminal session in full-screen mode and accepts your commands. You can connect to the TIM from a dedicated 3270 terminal session, for example, a terminal emulator session configured to connect to it. Optionally, you can access the TIM from VTAM® session manager software.
Contact your system administrator to determine how to access a terminal session using the TIM on your system.
