Jeremy,

As Jon said. Your admin folks will understand. Basically it takes the
fundamentals of "work management" as documented at:
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/i/7.5?topic=management-work
A good reference but not a good study guide.

What version of the OS are you running?

Basically there are a few ways of doing autostart stuff. I'll try to speak
in your language: SQL. However some of the is limited to the release of OS
you are at.

One way is by the program listed in:
select *
from qsys2.system_value_info
where SYSTEM_VALUE_NAME = 'QSTRUPPGM';

One is by using the command ADDAJE so that the entry appears in select *
from qsys2.autostart_job_info; You could also modify one of the existing
entries in that list.
This will fire off those jobs when those subsystems are started.
This is tied to the entries in:
select *
from qsys2.job_description_info jd
join qsys2.autostart_job_info aje
on jd.job_description_library = aje.job_description_library and
jd.job_description = aje.job_description ;

Ok for you to read the SQL's but I would leave the modifying up to your
admins.

For more information see the toc in the link I provided earlier or see the

Can you elaborate on your last comment? Those terms are foreign to me, but
I'd like to understand what you're talking about so I can convey to our
admins.

Are you saying that that command would be started automatically at the
system level? Or job level?

Jeremy

Glad I guessed right.

Ideally it should just be added to your system's autostart list so that it
is always started along with the TCT servers etc.

Hi Jon,

That's a great idea and it just so happens that I do not have that access.
I'll have to request it and see if that helps.

Thank you and I'll keep the thread posted when I hear back.

Jeremy

It is possible you don't have enough authority to start the debug server.
To check this try issuing the command STRDBGSVR from the green screen.

Hello,



I have never used the ACS System Debugger before but saw it as a menu
option so naturally I was intrigued by a GUI debugger that
could/would replace STRDBG.



Info:

* ACS v1.1.8.8 Build ID: 1380
* I am not an iSeries guy, but sometimes I am tasked with
writing/debugging Stored Procs/Triggers/Functions
* I run ACS as Administrator



I have a 'Run SQL Scripts' query window open.

I select the 'System Debugger' option from the 'Run' menu.

This brings up the Sign On window. I sign on.

System Debugger window is now displayed.

* Almost everything (toolbar options, menu options) on this UI is
disabled, excepts for the 'Start Debug' command

* Selecting 'Start Debug' does nothing

* In status pane at bottom of window, I have the following three
messages:

1. Attempting connection to <system name> (IP address)
2. Communications error with <system name>
3. Attempting to start debug server on <system name> .



I don't see anything of relevance in the joblog, that I can tell.



Is there something that must be configured on the i in order for this
to work?

The 'Communications error with <system name>' in the lower pane is
confusing. Is the 3rd message in the pane a result of the 2nd message?



Communications seems fine as I can run queries, I can start and use
5250 emulation, I can peruse the system via iNavigator, etc.



Thanks,

Jeremy
