Re: Interactive Debugging

Michael,

Setting a service entry point in a program that will fire when the program 
is run under a different user profile, requires that the 
"setting user profile" have enough authority to access the STRSRVJOB 
command and to access the targeted user profile. 
The SETTER must have *USE, *CHANGE or *ALL access to both of these items.

There was a problem with the authority checking for setting SEP in this 
situation, and an APAR (SE20277)  had been opened for it.
The workaround for this problem is to give the SETTER user profile the 
*SERVICE special authority. 

This APAR has been fixed in V5R4, and the PTF # is SI19633.

Re: [WDSCI-L] Interactive Debugging






Vadim,

Is it still a requirement to have *ALLOBJ or *SERVICE special authority to 

set a service entry point (SEP) on another user ID?  When I asked you 
about it at COMMON in the Fall of 2005, you said it didn't seem like it 
should be a requirement.  But I've never checked back on it.  SEPs are 
great, but we can't use them in a lot of situations.  The level of special 

authority is the hold-up for us.  It seems that having *USE or *CHANGE 
authority to the profile in question should be enough.

Thanks,

Hi Bill,

Yes, you could use something called a Service Entry Point (SEP) that is 
setup in advance.
Right-click on the program, module or procedure you are interested to 
debug from RSE and the option will be on the popup menu.

When program/module/procedure is invoked on the iSeries host, debugger 
will get control, provided user IDs do match. Try it, you'll
like it!

Hope this helps.
Vadim
