During an active monitoring session, the receiving terminal can hang rather than display a breakpoint.
CA InterTest for CICS users may experience a terminal hang when expecting to receive a breakpoint. A CNTL=INQ command shows that the task is active and an associated message states that CA InterTest for CICS is waiting at a breakpoint. However, no breakpoint display appears.
The most common cause of this problem is the CA InterTest for CICS breakpoint transaction, VTAT, has received a security violation when attempting to display the breakpoint. This can often occur when the CICS transaction is not associated with a terminal and the originating terminal is defined as FROM=.ANY or FROM=.NO through the LIST Profile.
Ensure that there are no external security restrictions defined for the VTAT transaction.
Please refer to the section entitled CA ACF2 and RACF Users in the documentation. All security must be removed from the IPLX, ISER, VIRC, LIST, and VTAT transactions. For optimal performance, security should be removed from the CNTL transaction as well
