Starting the debug server

You can use the ZINET commands to define and start the debug server on the z/TPF system so that you can request a connection to the debug server from IBM® TPF Toolkit.

About this task

The z/TPF debugger, dump viewer, and entry control block (ECB) monitor can be run in 1052 state on your z/TPF system.

TCP/IP, pools (ZPOOL 1052), and the debug listener must be ready for use at 1052 state before you use the z/TPF debugger.

Procedure

Enter the ZINET ADD command on the z/TPF system to define the z/TPF debug server.
Use the XPARM parameter to specify the port number. The default port number is 8000. The server name specified must be DBUG. For example:
```
ZINET ADD SERVER-DBUG PGM-CDBI MODEL-DAEMON ACT-AUTO STATE-1052 XPARM-8000
```
Enter the ZINET START command on z/TPF system to start the z/TPF debug server.
For example:
```
ZINET START SERVER-DBUG
```

Results

The z/TPF debug server now can listen for requests from TPF Toolkit.
