Re: Fw: RDi 9.1 Code Coverage DEBUG UPDPROD -- WDSCI-L

From my perspective and knowing our environment I would say all the

time.

We use a separate LPAR for development so at the most we end up
corruptioning user sand box testing. We refresh our production data to
our production level libraries on a regular basis. We also have the
STRDBG command default set as UPDPROD(*YES) right now on the DEVE LPAR.
I and most all other developers set the RDi IBM i Debug option checked
on.

Thanks, Matt

I understand the desire to use UPDPROD(*NO) while debugging in order to
prevent data corruption while debugging programs. Under what
circumstances would UPDPROD(*YES) be useful when analyzing code
coverage?

I would prefer to have the tool use the current command default, either
as default option over all or as the default on each code coverage set
up. The latter option then gives me the ability to set it to
UPDPROD(*NO)

Thanks, Matt

I think you should pick up the existing option "Run / Debug" --> "IBM i
Debug" in 9.0.1

I assume it is still there in 9.1?

Hi Matt,
Thanks for catching this, I have spoken to the developer and this will

fixed for next release.
I assume that we should always use UPDPROD(*YES) rather than exposing

this

as an option.
Unfortunately there is no work around available in the RDi 9.1

For some reason Code Coverage uses STRDBG UPDPROD(*NO).

I know this because I get "Member XXXXXXXX cannot be opened while
UPDPROD(*NO)." then the coverage job ends.

I see no where I can set this debug option to UPDPROD(*YES). My

debug

option under Preferences -> Run/Debug -> IBM i Debug has the option
"Update production files" set on.

We have overridden the system command default to be UPDPROD(*YES) and
its still at that value.

Did I miss an option in Code Coverage? Or does this require an RFE.

It makes this difficult to run Code Coverage without moving ALL
production level data objects to a test library. Sub programs that
are not in test are called attempting to open production data and
failing.

Thanks, Matt
