Debugging UNIX System Services programs

You must debug your UNIX® System Services programs in one of the following debugging modes:

If your program spans more than one process, you must debug it in remote debug mode.

If one or more of the programs you are debugging are in a shared library and you are using dynamic debugging, you need to assign the environment variable _BPX_PTRACE_ATTACH a value of YES. This enables Debug Tool to set hooks in the shared libraries. Programs that have a .so suffix are programs in a shared library. For more information about how to set environment variables, see your UNIX System Services documentation.

Debugging MVS POSIX programs

You can debug MVS POSIX programs, including the following types of programs:

To debug MVS POSIX programs in full screen mode or batch mode, the program must run under TSO or MVS batch. If you want to run your program under the UNIX SHELL, you must debug in full-screen mode through a VTAM terminal or remote debug mode. To debug any MVS POSIX program that spans more than one process, you must debug the program in remote debug mode.
