Re: Using RSE to debug running Java program - fails for me, what to do?

CRPence skrev den 18-02-2008 16:43:

Since the CPF3CF2 is a generic "API failed" failure condition, I think the best approach might be to locate the full details of the joblog for the host error, to see if there are preceding error conditions which give rise to the generic "API failed" message. Having just reviewed the text for that message, it seems to suggest doing that [and the parameters specified, which would not be too easy given it is a system debugger feature calling the API], and reporting the problem to your service provider.

Thanks for your answer. I asked our sysop to see if he could help me locate said details, but he could not locate anything. He mentioned that apparently nothing was being logged.

I did a quick test and could attach the RSE debugger to a non-java job, so apparently something works.

If there is anybody out there willing to help me on this please just run the attached Java jar - e.g. with "java -jar count.jar 10000" in qsh - and locate it under "My Active Jobs" in Remote System Explorer, and right click "Debug as" -> "iSeries job. I have also tried various unpacked variations as this might be a "the debugger only supports a class file" issue, but cannot identify any which works.

To avoid any suspicions of trojans, the meat of the class in the jar file is:

public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
int i = Integer.parseInt(args[0],10);
while (i > 0) {
System.out.println("i = " + i);
Thread.sleep(1000);
i = i - 1;
}
}


Thanks in advance for any help on this. If I get it to work I'll write a summarizing article.
