Testing a TP under APPC/MVS Scheduling

Before you test an inbound TP in a live system under APPC/MVS scheduling, ask your APPC administrator to:

Create a TP profile that restricts the use of the TP under test to your own user ID (called a user-level TP profile). See Requesting a User-Level or Group-Level TP Profile for an explanation.
Provide side information for the TP, if necessary. See Requesting Side Information for instructions.

After performing these actions, use one of the methods described in Methods You Can Use to Create a Test Shell to test a TP under APPC/MVS scheduling.

While the TPs are running, the system writes messages to the job log. When the TPs are finished, check the job log and verify the results of the TP's processing. For information on how to collect problem data from the job log, see Collecting Problem Data for Errors that Occur During Testing.

Note: If a multi-trans TP remains active indefinitely, the job-log messages for the TP will eventually wrap and overwrite previous messages. However, the messages from the multi-trans shell are not overwritten.
