Xuan,
I use completely separate workspaces for both RDP 8.0.3 & RDP 8.5.1
By debug a production job, I actually mean this:
1.) Open Perspective "Debug"
2.) Menu: Run>Debug Configurations
3.) Under "IBM i: Debug job
* Set up Debug job for a Production job. (Debug a job, by entering in the job name...)
I haven't been able to duplicate my Error message:
Unable to restore directory source lookup entry - missing path attribute.
All this was done on my old Workspace, which I temporarily switch back to my old Work space...
RDP 8.5.1 workspace name: WorkSpace_8_5
RDP 8.0.3 WorkSpace Name: workspace803_demo_10_31a
Note: I did a demo on RDP 8.0, and create a new "FRESH workspace" for the demo.
On October 31th, hence the suffix "..._demo_10_31a..." <grin>
PS. Let me know if I can provide any more any more additional information. I normally clear my Error-log every so often. Because most errors I can easily re-create...

Hi Ken,
Is this workspace used in RDp 8.0.3, and you also used it after switching to RDp 8.5.1?
And what do you mean by debug a production job? And what is the startup steps for your debug session (Setting a service entry point, and then run, or Debug as -> IBM i job).
Could you send me the screen capture of your message?
Thanks,

Hi,
I tried to debug a production job again today, and I got this Error

***************** End Error Text *****************
Sounds like some setting or something is amiss inside my work space...
So...
I create a new workspace, and it now seems to work. Yippee!! Which I could just correct the problem. Because now I have to redo all my customization.
Filters, colors, preference, etc...
The hardest thing is remapping my customized shortcuts keys...
Visual Studio has an Export function for preferences...
Yes, I did copy workbench setting. But, that is the easiest one to remap....
Is there a way to set customized settings & Preferences?

Hi,
I had to debug a production program, and RDP 8.5.1 would NOT find the source, when I went to debug the job...
I even specified the source file to use again...
So...
I open up RDP 8.0.3, and that worked perfectly! Just how I remembered it!
No problems at all. I wonder why RDP 8.5.1 get's hung up on trying to find source for debug? And yet, RDP 8.0.3. does not have a problem! Yeah!
This hints that there is a bug with this RDP 8.5.1.
OH well, maybe the next service pack will fix it.
PS. Normally, I use the "IBM I Service Entry points", and that seem to work great! But not the good old "Debug Job". Strange.

Hi,
Using the RDP 8.5.1 to debug a job, it CANNOT find the source....
But, using the Service entry points, it DOES find the source....
Any idea why the debug job cannot find the source. I even tried adding the ibm source file, and it still cannot find the source....
I get the "Source not found" and the "Edit Source Lookup Path..." button...
Which shows my source files...
Am I missing something here?

I have always used IBM Installation Manager to initiate the installation.
Seems to do the trick without a hitch. Worth updating IM first to the latest version, (free download).
