Re: Set Service Entry Point for another user

You can jump into an already running program, you just can't use a SEP do
so.

SEP = Service Entry Point, "entry" being the keyword. They are invoked
when the program/module is entered.

To debug a running program, follow the steps Jon outlined.

I had the user exit the program and restart - as soon as the user exited

have to use the pull-down menu you mentioned below.

Then when I was finished debugging, I ended the SEP and cleared the
breakpoints... but for some reason, that didn't really end it. RDi jumped
right back into debug when the user encountered that line of code again. I
had the user back out of the program, and received a message RDi that the
job had terminated.

This seems VERY disconnected... according to my RDi screens, I was no
longer servicing a job and was no longer debugging... yet I was.

If I can't "jump into" an already running program (like I can with
STRSRVJOB and STRDBG), the RDi debug is inferior in that aspect. I use
that all the time to look at issues that are not easily recreated.

The way to do that kind of debug is to attach the debugger to the job in
question. You do this via the debug pull down in the workbench and then I
would normally use the Debug Configurations and then select Debug Job. In
the dialog you can select the user name to help filter the jobs and then
select the one you want.

An SEP (no matter what user) is only triggered when the program starts up
- if the program is already active it will have no effect.

I'm missing something... I would like to debug another user's running

program. On green screen, I used to STRSRVJOB then STRDBG.

I thought that RDi would allow me to set a service entry point,

specifying the program and the user by username. However this doesn't seem
to be working. My user profile has QSECOFR authority.

Does the user have to exit and re-enter the program?
