Terminate or Suspend a Debug Session

These instructions describe how to stop or suspend a debug session. You can stop a debug session at any time.

Stop an Active Batch Debug Session

Follow these steps:

Click the Cancel Debug Session icon on the CA InterTest™ Debug view toolbar.
The Select Termination Object dialog for the batch project opens.
Select one of the following options and then click Finish:
- Cancel debugging
  Terminates the active z/OS job completely. You cannot restart the job but you can submit a new job to debug your programs.
- Suspend debugging
  Terminates the debug session and places the job on the batch link queue.
  
  Note: You can restart the debug session any time. To restart a suspended session, click the Start Debug Session toolbar icon on the CA InterTest™ Debug view.

Stop an Active CICS Debug Session

Follow these steps:

Click the Cancel Debug Session icon on the CA InterTest™ Debug view toolbar.
The Select Termination Object dialog for the CICS project opens.
Select one of the following options under Abend Current task:
- No Dump
