Product Overview

The architecture of ADS for CICS comprises several key components that work together to provide debugging capabilities. The primary components include the ADS Control Program, the Debugging Interface, and the Data Capture and Display Module. The ADS Control Program manages the overall debugging process, including command interpretation and session management.

The Debugging Interface provides the command-line interface (CLI) for user interaction, allowing users to issue commands such as TRACE, DISPLAY, and SET. The Data Capture and Display Module is responsible for capturing debugging information, such as variable values and program execution flow, and presenting it to the user. Communication between these components occurs through internal CICS interfaces and control blocks.

ADS for CICS utilizes CICS services for interacting with the CICS environment. Data storage is primarily within the CICS region's memory space, with no external databases required. Network requirements are minimal, as the tool operates within the z/OS environment.

The configuration involves setting up the necessary parameters within the CICS region to enable debugging. The tool supports debugging of applications written in PL/1, C/370, Assembler, and COBOL. Compared to other tools, ADS for CICS offers direct integration and control within the CICS environment, providing a streamlined debugging experience.
