How to use the IMS-BTS tool with ENDEVOR

hi,
Can anybody tell how to use the IMS-BTS tool with ENDEVOR. I want to test a transaction using BTS in ENDEVOR. I am facing difficulties since i have not worked in ENDEVOR as well as BTS. Can anybody help me please? Even after compiling and link editing the cobol source in ENDEVOR (stage A) the transaction is not invoked from BTS. The error code is S806 (saying load module not found).

BTS operates like normal online but under TSO or in batch. The transaction has to be completed as if it were online (PSB-GEN/ACB-GEN etc). The directories have to be defined in the BTS startup as in regionstartup. Either your transaction (member) isn't on the library or the library is missing. Your sysin should contain all transactions you want to BTS-test Sample:

thanks for the reply George,
I could resolve the load not found error but now the RC is U3003.
Please see the screen DUMP of my BTS-TEST sample.

Now the RC is U3003.
I am trying out from my end to find out and resolve this. Please help me if you have any idea.

Thanks a lot for your support.

Can't find the U3003 in the BTS-manual. Could you modify the TSO message level so we may obtain more information?

Hi again,

In the IMS messages and codes I found the 3003. Look here for the message. Looks like a time-out. Could it be your databases are unavailable during your BTS-test? Are they defined at all?

Hi George,
Shall try changing ./O TSOMLVL=0 <--- 1. we are just trying to invoke an online transaction. this is not accessing any databases.

Thanks,
Nithya,

Hi George,
We need to throw the screen through the application program, which inturn would be invoked by the transaction name. This would help us to navigate through the screens. right? We are trying to enter the transaction name as the BTS command. Is this the right way? Please advise. By giving the MOD name the MFS/screen is thrown. But we want to test it like a live IMS region where we enter a transaction name for the screen to be thrown.

Thanks
nithya.

Just trow any format and in the first line of the trown screen type your transactioncode going with the program. If it works ok, I will check some further for direct transaction startup.

Try this. In stead of the /FORMAT type your (and not mine) transaction

Hi george,
The option of throwing the screen and from there invoking the transaction is not working :-(.
Ans we already have the above specified code in out BTSin member

./T TC=ET120Z MBR=ET120Z PSB=ET120Z LANG=CBL MSGTYPE=TRAN

Bitneuker · Posted: Thu Jan 25, 2007 9:23 pm

Well, I'm used to start the dialog with a /FORMAT and the manual tells the same. Maybe some exploring (CLEAR?) might help.

Bitneuker · Posted: Thu Jan 25, 2007 9:44 pm

If you omit the /FORMAT and clear the screen (with us it's Pause/Break) and then type the transactioncode what happens? Bytheway: we don't use BTS anymore so everthing I post is from memory, manuals and old TSO stuff

Hi George,
We have some display statements in our COBOL code for the transaction program. Any idea how to have a sysout in the BTS job. Currently we get to see only BTSOUT and no SYSOUT.

The error we get is

BTS0021E TRANSACTION ABNORMALLY TERMINATED. COMPLETION CODE WAS U3003.
User abend 3,003 dec occurred processing command 'CALL '.
ERROR PROCESSING DATASET : COMPMLIB
RC = U3003

Does this mean that there is some problem with teh code??? Please advise.

Thanks & Regards,
Nithya.
