RE: Problems with the IBM Distributed Debugger

Hi Ed,
I know how you feel.  I haven't had a working debugger ever since they switched from the Code400 Debugger (v3.2.1?) to the IBM Distributed Debugger (v3.2.2?) (at least a year and a half) until just last week after applying SP1 to wdt400 v4.5.1 it magically started working!  We are on v4r4 of OS400, too.  So my suggestion would be to upgrade to wdt400 v4.5.1 and apply SP1.  That's the only thing that's worked for me.

Note: There are some PTFs for v4r4 listed on
http://www-4.ibm.com/software/ad/varpg/support/code400.htm
that should be applied if you haven't done so.

The copmany I work for has recently upgraded to v4r4 of the OS on the AS400.
Since that time we have not been able to start the debug server using the
STRDBGSVR command.  When I enter the command, I immediately get a completion
message that my job completed normally.  If I look at my job log for the
command it shows me the following message, "Start Prestart Jobs command is
not allowed now." 
 

 Cause . . . . . :   The Start Prestart Jobs (STRPJ) command is not valid at

   this time for reason 1.  See reason 1 shown below:

     1 - The prestart jobs for program Q5BWHSRV in library QSYS in subsystem

   QSYSWRK are already active.

 When I try to start a debugger session I still get the standard message
that my connection was refused and that I need to run the STRDBGSVR command.
Has anyone had any problems with V4R4 related to the debugger?  Is there a
PTF that needs to be applied?  Any suggestions would be helpful.  Thanks!
