Milestone 6: Configuring Workbench Integration
This milestone will guide you through the tasks necessary to integrate Code Debug TSO and Code Debug IMS with Workbench for Eclipse.
If your site is not using—and does not plan to use—Workbench for Eclipse, go to Milestone-7-Configuring-Batch-Connect-support.
Roles Involved
The following people are required for this milestone:
Tasks
Complete the following tasks to configure Workbench for Eclipse integration.
Task 6.1 Configure the CSS Shared Profile Facility (CSPF) Data set
The following person is required for this task:
The CSPF is used in conjunction with Code Debug’s Multi-Batch Facility, to support the use of the batch debugger in Workbench for Eclipse and BMC AMI DevX for VS Code.
- Ensure Multi-Batch is installed and active.
- Use the XTUPDATE macro to configure the JCL in SLXTINST(JCLCSPF).
- Submit the JCL. It should end with return code 0.
If you already have a CSPF from a prior install, it can be reused. This JCL will test for the existence of a CSPF with the data set name you specify. If it does not exist, it will create a CSPF. The second step will populate the CSPF.
Task 6.2 HCI Task Modification
The following people are required for this task:
The Host Communications Interface (HCI) is part of BMC AMI Enterprise Common Components (ECC). The HCI provides for communication between Workbench for Eclipse, BMC AMI DevX for VS Code and the Mainframe components (such as Code Debug TSO).
- Add the Code Debug TSO LXTAUTH (or whatever library you selected in Authorize the SLXTAUTH Library) to the STEPLIB in the HCI JCL.
- Specify the CSPF data set name with the HCI PARMLIB keyword CSPF=data set-name.
Task 6.3 Verify the Workbench Integration
The following person is required for this task:
Contact your Workbench for Eclipse installer/administrator to verify Workbench for Eclipse integration with Code Debug TSO and Code Debug IMS via the Workbench for Eclipse Code Debug Eclipse feature.
For BMC AMI DevX for VS Code, contact your installer/administrator.
