We're running Intertest v11 on z/OS and until recently, ran Intertest CICS with only the Intertest CICS CSD entries. We recently applied Intertest PTF SO12093 which brought in a string of corequisite maintenance and now Symdump transaction SYMS is required to process an Intertest breakpoint. Is there any setting or process to turn off the Symdump transaction definition requirement?
Z/OS
CICS
The development team made mistake when they developed the new feature. Fix SO14193 will remove the SYMS requirement.
APAR #: SO14193
Product: INTERT Release: 11.0
Title: AEI1 ABEND IN IN25CORE AFTER APPLYING PTF SO13167
****************** VERSION 0 EFFECTIVE: AUG 06 2020 4:38 *************
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
After applying PTF SO13167, InterTest users may experience AEI1 abends if SymDump for CICS is not installed.
SYMPTOMS:
When a breakpoint is set in a program or monitoring is turned on for a program that causes an abend, execution of the program causes an AEI1 abend in program IN25CORE.
IMPACT:
Users are not able to use InterTest to step through a program or to view information on abends in monitored programs.
CIRCUMVENTION:
Add a definition for transaction SYMS to the DFHCSD. The definition
can be found in the appropriate CSDSYMnn member in CAVHJCL.
