More information on this Debug program with "Source not found"
RDP 8.5.1: If I "Debug job", like my session: QPADEV0001, and click Step-INTO, the debug works GREAT!
But...
RDP 8.5.1: When I say to debug a job current running in batch, then I get the message: "Source not found."
RDP 8.3.0: So, I turned around and fire up RDP 8.0.3, and the "Debug Job" works flawlessly! <Joy Joy>
So, RDP 8.5.1 got broke somehow on this release...
I often have job passing information around to different data-queues, so the ability to debug batch job, has always been a great help to me.
Now, I must remember to fire up RDP 8.0.3, when called in the middle of the night, and I need to debug a production job.
So, I ask the question again, is anyone else running into this problem beside me? Where they can no longer debug a batch-job using RDP 8.5.1 or RDP 8.5? It would be good to find out that I am NOT the only one.
:)

Xuan and other users encounter the debug job source error,
Yes, I tried the DEBUG job alone WITHOUT the Service entry points.
I keep forgetting to try my old RDP 8.0.3 to debug jobs. But, when called late at night, it is hard to remember. I had to restart the job several times, to catch in debug. Often, I forget to put in the production user name for debug with the "Service Entry points"...
For debugging for development, I love the Service Entry points. But, for a job failure, the "Debug-Job" use to be GREAT, when it worked on RDP 8.0.3. I just enter in the name. And leave the User & Job-Number as "*" to select the current active job! Perfect!
Shucks, IBM site requires registration, which is understandable...

You can use SR/PMR to report problems on nearly all IBM supported software products
My company didn't purchase support. Out of approximately, 18 developers, only about 4 of us RDP. The rest stick to RELIABLE SEU... <Big Frown>
Oh well, is anyone else running into this error, where the source Cannot be found for "Debug Job"? Or am I the only one encountering this error?
If someone is a registered support customer, could they be as so kind to enter in the PMR on this?
Thanks!
Last time I open a PMR, IBM was very helpful, but informed me that my company didn't NOT purchase a service contract. Unfortunately, like a lot of places, our budget is tight.
With less than 25% of the staff using RDP, it is hard to justify. But at least we have the license for RDP!
I get the same thing from the other developers: "Why learn something new, when SEU works fine, with NO ERRORS..."
But, I think I am slowly getting some developers, to at least try it...
I get the old excuse: "Never enough time to learn something new. It's navigation is too hard to learn, etc..."
Okay, I will step down from my soap-box... <LOL>

Hi Ken,
It is quite obvious, but just to confirm... SEP and debug currently running job are debugging the same program?
Could you please open a PMR so I can look more into it? Thanks.
Thanks,

Hi,
Last night, I ran into the source not found for the source debug....
This is where I try to slam a current running program into debug, to view select variables. And it cannot find the source. I get the error message "Source not found"...
And yet, the "Service Entry Points" works fine. It can find the source....
<perplex look>
I tried search the email, and I could not find reported issue on this.
Please advise if I missed it...
I guess about 98% of the time, I use "Service Entry Point" instead of the debug job. But, the Debug job should still work. It doesn't even work when I manually put in the look up path. Very frustrating...
When trying to encourage other Developers to use RDP, it is discouraging, when things do NOT work...

Hi,
Using the RDP 8.5.1 to debug a job, it CANNOT find the source....
But, using the Service entry points, it DOES find the source....
Any idea why the debug job cannot find the source. I even tried adding the ibm source file, and it still cannot find the source....
I get the "Source not found" and the "Edit Source Lookup Path..." button...
Which shows my source files...
Am I missing something here? Has anyone else ran into this problem on RPD 8.5/8.5.1?
Not sure if a PMR/Trouble-ticket was open on this or not.

I have always used IBM Installation Manager to initiate the installation.
Seems to do the trick without a hitch. Worth updating IM first to the latest version, (free download).
