Error description
ABEND 378 during EQAYSESM (Debug Tool Terminal Interface Manager (TIM)) startup. APAR PM69781 marks PTF UK79568 as PE. The PTF for APAR PM69781 will fix the problem found in UK79568 (described above) and include all the other changes in: APAR PM64370,PM65475 PTF UK79568 APAR PM59170 PTF UK79685 APAR PM69305 PTF UK80646 APAR PM64370,PM65475 PTF UK79568: --- Features --- -Support for an IMS transaction that is associated with a generic ID. A new feature is added to the consolidated Language Environment user exit (EQAD3CXT) to search a new cross reference table for the user ID of a user who wants to debug a IMS transaction that is started from the web and is associated with a generic ID. This enables Debug Tool to debug these transactions that use a generic ID. The user ID from the cross reference table is used to find the user's Debug Tool user exit data set (userid.DBGTOOL.EQAUOPTS) which specifies the TEST run time parameters and the display device address. A new option is added to the Debug Tool Utilities ISPF panel, "C IMS Transaction and User ID Cross Reference Table" to allow each user to update the new cross reference table. See the ++HOLD DOC for more information. -Support for tracing load modules loaded by an application. New commands TRACE LOAD and LIST TRACE LOAD are added for Debug Tool's 3270 mode. This set of commands allows the user to get a trace of load modules loaded by the application. You start the trace by issuing the TRACE LOAD START. You can use LIST TRACE LOAD to display the TRACE. The TRACE includes load modules known to Debug Tool at the time the TRACE LOAD START command is entered and all that are loaded while the TRACE is active. You can end the trace by issuing TRACE LOAD END. Note that when you end the trace, all trace information is deleted. See the ++HOLD DOC for more information. -Support for terminating an idle Debug Tool session that uses the Terminal Interface Manager. Debug Tool now supports a time-out option (via the new EQAOPTS SESSIONTIMEOUT command) which allows the system programmer to establish a maximum wait time for debug sessions using a dedicated terminal or the Terminal Interface Manager. If the debug session exceeds the specified time limit without any user interaction, the session will be terminated with either a QUIT or QUIT DEBUG. See the ++HOLD DOC for more information. -Add support for CICS/TS 5.1 Beta 4. Support is added for CICS TS 5.1 beta 4. Support is only provided for base CICS functions, i.e. those functions which were available in CICS TS 4.2. Support is not guaranteed for new functions within CICS TS 5.1. --- End Features --- --- Service --- -Prevent the prompt "EQA1211I The MONITOR command has already been established. Enter it again?" from being issued when duplicate monitor commands are entered manually, from a commands or preference file, or are restored from a SAVEBPS file. See the ++HOLD DOC for more information. (PM61419 at 11.1) -Debug Tool is passing a bad parameter to EQAUEDAT. (PM62364 at 11.1) -x'68' bytes of subpool 241 storage getmained by the Terminal Interface Manager not freed. (PM62423 at 11.1) -Debug Tool suffers RLCP abend at the end of a debugging session if Omegamon RLIM is active. (PM64262 at 10.1) -CICS: AbendAEIP in EQADCXEC when EQADPFMB data set can not be accessed. (PM64575 at 11.1) -Remote session does not display EQA4027E message. (PM65475 at 11.1) -Debug Tool Coverage Utility (DTCU) Setup is issuing +EQACU058W Setup: Listing has no executable statements: no breakpoints inserted for an Enterprise PL/I listing when the compiler was run with NATLANG(UEN). (PM66207 at 11.1) -EQAXOPT NAMES,EXCLUDE,LOADMOD,'XXX*' is not honoring the * wildcard character. (PM66008 at 11.1) -When using the DTCN (for CICS) plug-in: - the transaction id is no longer uppercased. See the ++HOLD for further information about how to acquire the updated plug-in. -Debug Tool Coverage Utility "GTarget Create HTML Targeted Coverage Report" problems: 1. Output is corrupted in some cases when an HTML report is fed back in as input (with a different Program-ID). 2. Miscellanous problems with detecting invalidly specified input and output data set names. --- End Service --- APAR PM59170 PTF UK79685: -User received EQA2316E 'Variable not found' trying to monitor an expression using remote debugger. APAR PM69305 PTF UK80646: --- Features --- -Add IMS information to start and stop messages generated by the EQAOPTS STARTSTOPMSG command. See the ++HOLD DOC for more information. -Delay Debug: New EQAOPT DLAYDBGCND command to control CONDITION trapping. See the ++HOLD DOC for more information. --- End Features --- --- Service --- -Debug Tool loops when Monitor prefix command is issued. Problem does not occur when screen size is increased. (PM67425 at 11.1) --- End Service ---
