CEDF and CEDX - the execution diagnostic facility

The CICS® execution diagnostic facility (EDF) provides four transactions that you can use for testing application programs.

These transactions - CEDF and CEDX - enable you to test application programs interactively without having to supply special program testing procedures.

CEDF
Use CEDF to invoke EDF for testing application programs that are associated with user transactions initiated from a terminal.
CEDG
Use CEDG to access functions of CEDF in a read-only mode.
CEDX
Use CEDX to invoke EDF for testing application programs that are associated with non-terminal transactions.
CEDY
Use CEDY to access functions of CEDX in a read-only mode.
