Error description
z/OS Debugger service 17.0.3.1 for IBM Developer for z/OS Enterprise Edition 17.0.3 IBM Developer for z/OS 17.0.3 IBM Debug for z/OS 17.0.3 IBM Test Accelerator for Z. --- Features --- See "What's new in IBM z/OS Debugger" in the z/OS Debugger documentation for any new features, if any, included in this service. --- End Features --- --- Service --- -Debug Profile Service - add support for CICS XCFGROUP. A new XCFGROUP parameter has been introduced in the dtcn.ports configuration file for Debug Profile Service (DPS). Configuring the XCFGROUP parameter is required only if DPS is set up to use CICS EXCI connections and the target CICS region resides in an XCFGROUP other than the default DFHIR000, as specified in the CICS System Initialization (SIT) parameters. If the XCFGROUP parameter is not defined in the dtcn.ports file, DPS defaults to DFHIR000 when establishing CICS EXCI connections to active CICS regions. Ensure that the XCFGROUP specified in the dtcn.ports file for the target CICS region matches the XCFGROUP defined in the CICS SIT parameters. (PH68006 at 17.0) -During IBM Test Accelerator for Z (TAZ) recording in an IMS MPR, an abend occurred, triggering the MPR's ESTAE routine. TAZ intercepted the subsequent recovery call but couldn't function in the existing recovery context, leading to another abend. This loop, caused by repeated ESTAE processing, prevents IMS from successfully executing a STOP REGION command. (PH68480 at 17.0) -TAZ recording abends with S0C4-X'4' when SEQAMOD is in LINKLIST and user has no access to AUTHDEBUG. In IBM Test Accelerator for Z (TAZ) v2.2, attempts to record in IMS result in an abend S0C4-X'4' if SEQAMOD is in LINKLIST and the owner of the job has no access to EQADTOOL.AUTHDEBUG.
