Re: Show Variable Contents in Debug

Perhaps Aaron like many of the rest of us couldn't get the previous

versions of the debugger to work because of the idiot way the debugger
call-back mechanism was implemented.

Though I am not as well versed in the details of WDSC communication to my
iSeries, I would say that this sounds like a fair assessment of what I am
experiencing.  I have gone the routes of trying to open ports on my router
and such to no avail.

The pre-V6 versions would only work if there was no NAT translation going

on between the System i and the PC.

This would probably explain why my connecting to machines through VPN works
flawlessly (no time outs, etc) and all other connections done without VPN
are constantly dropping (every 10 minutes or so). 

The new Service Entry Point approach is a dream to use compared with the

obfuscation of the older methods and at last I'm actually able to use WDSC's
debugger.

I have been watching comments on this feature and am very intrigued as it
sounds like I can by-pass a *PGM when testing my *SRVPGM's - rock on!  I
will give it another shot on my VPN connection.

Thanks for the comments Jon,
Aaron Bartell

Maybe you could give me more details of the problem you encounter for

debugger.

Perhaps Aaron like many of the rest of us couldn't get the previous versions
of the debugger to work because of the idiot way the debugger call-back
mechanism was implemented.  It is only since V6 came out that I and most of
my customers have been able to use it!

The pre-V6 versions would only work if there was no NAT translation going on
between the System i and the PC.  And forget it if there were any firewalls
present unless you cared to open up an arbitrary range of ports "just in
case".

Anyway - long story short - the V6 debugger works in locations where the old
one wouldn't even try.  The new Service Entry Point approach is a dream to
use compared with the obfuscation of the older methods and at last I'm
actually able to use WDSC's debugger.

Your mileage may vary Aaron <grin>
