Problem:

Operation system is Windows XP SP2

Micro Focus software version 5.0.002.0077 with CICS/JCL development product.

Running MTO region within Enterprise Server on the same machine.

Set the project to use the correct Enterprise Server that is running in the project properities.

Started animation when I select the CICS tab and enter transaction I can animate the CICS program when it is requested from a 3270.

Select the JCL tab enter in JOB NAME and start the job it runs but will not animate

Resolution:

Locate the JCL and look at the JOB CARD, you want to enter the name of the job that is submitted for execution not the name of the file that contains the JCL.

For MVS JCL this is the name normally on the first card after the // and before the word "JOB".

For VSE JCL this is the name normally on the first // card and after the word "JOB".

Another method to find the job name by looking at the JES Spool output or out hold, the job name that appears in the name column is the same name as on the job card.

Place the correct name in job name on the animate JCL tab .
