To obtain the greatest benefit when using the DBUG option, consider the following:
Monitor the system traffic against the test database for several hours or days before actually putting it into production.
Analyze the debug output from a system console printout offline at a later time to compare what CP-AMS would have done to what the operator actually did.
Use a log file analysis program or data reduction tool to analyze the large amount of debug output.
If you want to test only certain patterns in an existing database, do not use the DBUG option. Instead, mark those patterns as test patterns in the database definition. Test patterns act as if the DBUG option were set only for them. CP-AMS executes the actions for the other matched patterns in the active CP-AMS database and performs the associated actions for basic system functions.
