Re: RDi 9 (9.1.1 and 9.5) debug question

This was a problem for me in my previous job (back in the days of WDSCi) and I can't remember how/if I worked around it... but looking at the Window>Preferences>Run/Debug>IBM i Debug there is a tickbox that will search iProjects for the correct source first. If you download the entire source library into a dedicated iProjects folder, and have this tickbox ticked, you may find some relief. You just need to keep the iProjects source folder up to date with any changes from the DEV system.

An RFE to additionally check for source in another connection's system, or to default the source lookup setting, would be useful and I'd vote for them (especially as we are looking at making plans to create a DEV LPAR ourselves.)

That sounds like an interesting enhancement - sort of a change-management function, perhaps - but I think it's worth submitting it, since it is possible to set the source to a different machine now, a capability we don't have in green-screen debugging that I know of.

Vern,

What I'd actually like to see, is some way to edit the "default path" so that it includes some libraries/source files on the development system.

I suspect that, because the reference to the source is stored in the object, that it will always revert to that reference. Any setting you use in RDi will not become a part of the object - it's pretty cool that you don't need the source on the running machine now, at any rate.

Just my thoughts around midnight!

Dear group,

We have a configuration with our development and test/production environments running on separate partitions.

For RDi these are different systems, which kind of causes an annoyance when debugging with SEP's.

Sources are stored on the DEV system only, so when I debug a program on the test/prd system, I get the "source not found" message.

I then "Edit Source Lookup Path..." and point it to the source on our DEV partition.

However, I need to do this again and again every time I run a debug.

Isn't there some way to make the source lookup path "stick"? I vaguely remember this question having been asked some releases back.

Thanks,
