### Host configuration for remote debug under CICS

To use TCP/IP sessions to carry the communications for remote debugging of your CICS applications, do the following:

1. Install Debug Tool PTFs that contain the VisualAge for COBOL Remote Debug support and refresh CICS definitions required by Debug Tool. These definitions can be found in member EQACCSD of the Debug Tool SEQASAMP data set.
2. Unless you already activated TCP/IP in the CICS region, activate it including setting up, configuring, and starting CICS TCP/IP.

   For a detailed explanation on activating TCP/IP in the CICS region, see CICS TCP/IP Socket Interface Guide and Reference, SC31-7131.
