A new release of z/OS Debugger is now available with many new features, and fixes (16 APARs).
Day 1 Support
As always, z/OS Debugger delivers more day 1 support:
- IBM Open Enterprise SDK for Go 1.20
- Interoperability is now supported between 64-bit Java and 31-bit PL/I programs if you use 64-bit PL/I programs in between. Don't forget to use delay debug mode to improve efficiency. For more information about delay debug, see Using delay debug mode to delay starting of a debug session.
Property Groups
For IDz users, there is improved integration with property groups, and you can now chose whether or not to display the Select Property Group window when the debug editor initializes. For more information, see Associating property groups with debug sessions.
Debug Profile Service
Security settings and options continue to be enhanced to provide customers with flexible options. Debug Profile Service now supports communication with AT-TLS, in addition to an SSL or a CA certificate. For more information, see Enabling secure communication with AT-TLS.
IMS Transaction Isolation
IDz EE customers who use IMS Transaction Isolation with Debug Profile Service will be able to take advantage of the following 2 new features:
- Users no longer have to wait for the entire list of IMS transactions. Instead when the transaction dialog appears, a filter can be specified to retrieve a subset of transactions, speeding up the process of creating profiles:
- In addition to previous routing options, users can now specify the range start and length for message pattern matching:

Happy debugging!
