PH39920: INCORRECT TEST RUNTIME SUB-OPTION IN GENERATED JCL OF AN IDZ ZUNIT TEST CASE WITH NO ACTIVE DEBUG MANAGER TASK

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In IBM Developer for z/OS (IDz) v14.2.5, generating a JCL for a
  zUnit test case debug or code coverage results in TEST runtime
  option to always use DBMDT sub-option even when no debug manager
  is enabled on the remote host. For example, the following can be
  seen in the generated debug Test case JCL when no debug manager
  is enabled:
  
  //REPLAY.CEEOPTS DD *
  TEST(ERROR,,PROMPT,DBMDT%<userid>:*)
  

Local fix

• Manually change the JCL to contain the TCP/IP& sub-option with
  the IP address and port number to start debugging or running
  code coverage. Here is an example for debugging a  zUnit Test
  case:
  
  //REPLAY.CEEOPTS DD *
  TEST(ERROR,,PROMPT,TCPIP&<IP-address>%<port>:*)
  
  where IP-address is the TCP/IP address of the IDz client running
  the debug session and port is the debug UI daemon port used for
  debugging.
  

Problem summary

• Generating a JCL for a zUnit test case debug or code coverage
  results in TEST runtime option to always use DBMDT sub-option
  even when no debug manager is enabled on the remote host. For
  example, the following can be seen in the generated debug Test
  case JCL when no debug manager is enabled:
  
  //REPLAY.CEEOPTS DD *
  TEST(ERROR,,PROMPT,DBMDT%<userid>:*)
  
  Workaround: Manually change the JCL to contain the TCP/IP&
  sub-option with the IP address and port number to start
  debugging or running code coverage. Here is an example for
  debugging a  zUnit Test case:
  
  //REPLAY.CEEOPTS DD *
  TEST(ERROR,,PROMPT,TCPIP&<IP-address>%<port>:*)
  
  where IP-address is the TCP/IP address of the IDz client running
  the debug session and port is the debug UI daemon port used for
  debugging.
  

Problem conclusion

• ZUnit has been corrected so that TCPIP would be populated when
  DBM is not activated.
  

Temporary fix
