Xpediter/CICS
Enhance CICS application quality with powerful testing and debugging
Xpediter/CICS now has support for C
Because CICS is critical to many organizations, companies are looking for ways to improve the agility of this environment to give them a competitive edge and lower overall costs. One way that companies are achieving their objectives is by identifying the business processes that run on the mainframe and transforming them to be callable and reusable through Service Oriented Architecture (SOA).
While SOA introduces new standards and connectivity protocols, much of the required work is similar to what has taken place in CICS environments in the past. Also unchanged is the need for highly sophisticated, yet easy to use, developer productivity tools used in development and test. Offering complete control of application code execution, Xpediter is a powerful testing and analysis tool that accelerates application development and maintenance by streamlining the testing and debugging process.
With full interactive source level debugging capabilities and access to CICS allocated data and storage, Xpediter/CICS helps locate, identify and eliminate application logic errors. Xpediter/CICS provides advanced trapping capabilities, ensuring that developers working in multi-tiered applications can intercept and debug their CICS programs regardless of where they originated or what mechanism initiated the transaction. The advanced functionality of Xpediter/CICS helps applications move quickly into production and stay there.
Xpediter/CICS provides developers with the ability to:
- View and interact with source code online
- Monitor and control program execution
- Monitor and control data variable values
- Create and edit test data with a full function file utility
- Browse and update WebSphere MQ queues allocated to CICS
- Intercept abends and storage violations
- Verify statement execution
- Resolve production abends without impacting program logic or risking data corruption
- Trap transactions initiated by a remote source or a non-terminal task
- Access Xpediter/CICS via a 3270 web bridge
