Re: iSeries Service Entry Point failing

I just encountered a problem with the debug function not working. I 
resolved it be ending the QB5PHSRV job and stopping and restarting the 
debug server. The process that caused the problem is that I started the 
debug server in WDSC yesterday. At the end of the day, I signed off and 
ended my Client Access sessions and logged off my PC, but didn't shut it 
down. This morning, I restarted the debug servers in WDSC, and selected a 
program for debug, but  the program failed to stop at breakpoints. This 
happened several times, and I refreshed the breakpoints after recompiling 
the program. Eventually I ended the QB5PHSRV job. I then attempted to 
restart the debug server, but this was grayed out, until I first stopped 
the debug server. Stopping the debug server threw up a communications 
error message, but then allowed me to start the debug server, and after 
reselecting the program for debug, the breakpoints did work.

Hopefully you can recreate the problem from this description. Let me know 
if you need additional information.\

Re: [WDSCI-L] iSeries Service Entry Point failing

Could you please tell me what happened when your SEP "stops working"? You 

cannot set the SEP any more, or you run the program, but no debug session 

came up?

I have also experienced the problem of the SEP no longer working. In these 

cases, there have been no error messages, but no debug session comes up 
when the program is called. I have tried refreshing the SEP in the Service 

Entry points dialog, with no results. I generally end up stopping and 
restarting the WDSC. This hasn't occurred often enough to isolate the 
actions which cause this problem. I'll remember the tip listed elsewhere 
of ending the QB5PHSRV job.
