Can anyone provide information on how to install/activate the
iSeries debugger in WDSc/RDi version 7.

We have an install that is missing the iSeries debugger component
preventing us from being able to run the debug for RPGLE, CLLE,
etc.

Or is there another way to use/set the entry point debugger.

Just a SWAG: If the issue is not known for sure to be a side effect of
a missing installable component, perhaps the issue could be instead,
that the debug server was not started previously; e.g. by STRDBGSVR CL
command or a GUI equivalent.?

I have STRDBGSVR in my initial program for signing on to the i. Since
I'm a green screen RPG programmer and need to sign on to test my code,
the debug server is always started for me :-)

One other thing to check in addition to STRDBGSVR is whether your i is
current on PTFs. On my WDSC 7.0.0.8, I expand an RSE Connection and
right click on iSeries Objects. Click on 'Verify Connection...' I get
the following:

Despite being told I'm missing a PTF, everything seems to work as well
as it ever did. I'm ordering SI23909 now - it's 14MB in size.
