InterTest for CICS COBDEMO program hangs when executed

Products

• InterTest - CICS

Issue/Introduction

When using the InterTest for CICS installation verification program COBDEMO, the session hangs after continuing from the welcome screen instead of receiving the automatic breakpoint(ABP) with the verb Add +1 to TASKNUM highlighted.    The COBDEMO program does work for unconditional breakpoints(UBP). 

 

Environment

ACF2

Cause

ACF2.

A CICS aux trace indicates a NOTAUTH condition when InterTest for CICS issues a  START on the breakpoint transaction VTAT. The NOTAUTH condition is caused by ACF2 and this has been reported for ACF2 releases 15.0 and 16.0.

Resolution

For ACF2  r 15.0: apply PTF RO88039

For ACF2  r 16.0 apply PTF RO89393
