Re: Debugging with RDi

Greg,

As Glenn mentioned, if you use SEPs then it's pretty easy to debug server
processes ( well, threaded stuff can be trickier ).

In addition to the notes Glenn gives - you also have to ensure that you set
the correct user that the program will be running under in the batch
process.

To do this, once you have set the SEP and can see the program in the SEP
view, you can right click or double click ( sorry I don't have RDi running
on this machine ) and amend the user to be the correct one.

regards,

I don't have a tutorial, so I'm not directly answering your post.
I don't see you mention Service Entry Points in your notes.
This is key.
Right-click the program (or module, or procedure) > Debug or Code Coverage
(Service Entry) > Set Service Entry Point

Does anyone have a good tutorial on debugging in RDi? Specifically,
debugging Apache CGI jobs running in subsystem QHTTPSVR.

I can find the job (WRKACTJOB), find the same job in RDi Remot System
view, right click and select Debug (Prompt), etc. Then I'm able to debug
the job a few times before it seems to cease breaking at my breakpoints.

If I use the green screen STRSRVJOB and STRDBG I do not have this issue.

Really a PITA to debug these things with RDi.
