HostBridge changes nothing about the CICS transaction or its execution. With HostBridge, the only thing different is how the transaction is invoked and the how it communicates to the outside world. The transaction itself is absolutely unchanged. One of the key features of products like InterTest or Xpeditor is the ability to intercept and and moderate a transaction’s interaction with a terminal user. Thus, if you are having problems with a particular transaction and want to debug it with one of these tools, then we suggest logging on to CICS and simply running the transaction from a terminal and use Intertest as you normally do.
