Supported Debug Scenarios
• Submit and Debug Program in Batch Job– Job name is same name as program– Job owner is current User– Submitted to QUSRWRK subsystem
• Debug existing job on system– Browse option for locating job– Cut and paste job information
• STRDBG command from emulation session– Debug manager must be active and ready– Must be same user as registered in Debug Manager– Emulation session must be running on same ip address as
Debug Manager– If criteria is not satisfied; traditional green screen debugger is
launched
Advantages
• Run to Cursor
• Monitor/Watch several fields at a time
• Multiple Breakpoint Groups in 1 program
• Automatically Saves Previous Debug Session
• Save the current session to local drive
QTESDBGHUB
• Starting the Debug Hub– V5R1 Call QSYS/QTESSTRSVR– V5R2 STRTCPSVR *DBG
• Runs in QSYSWRK subsystem• Single point of contact for user interface
– Registered in TCP/IP service table (port 4026)– User interface uses port mapper to locate server
• Submits Debug Server jobs (QTESDBGSVR)• Registration facility for iSeries Debug Manager
– STRDBG command from an emulator will perform graphical debug instead of traditional green screen debug
QTESDBGSVR
• Submitted by QTESDBGHUB• Runs in QUSRWRK subsystem
– Make sure QUSRWRK subsystem is started– Make sure QUSRNOMAX job queue is not held
• Issues STRSRVJOB and STRDBG against job to be debugged
• One QTESSBGSVR job per user interface window
Client Setup
• Install Java 1.3 run-time environment (JRE)• Copy JavaHelp (http://java.sun.com/products/javahelp)
– Jhall.jar contains java classes necessary to display help
• Copy jt400.jar to client– /QIBM/PRODDATA/HTTP/public/jt400/lib/jt400.jar
• Copy iSeries System Debugger tes.jar to client– /QIBM/PRODDATA/HTTP/public/jt400/lib/tes.jar
• Modify Classpath– Right click “My Computer”– select “Properties”– Select “ADVANCED” tab– Select “ENVIORNMENT VARIABLES”– Highlight “CLASSPATH” and select EDIT– i.e. CLASSPATH=C:\debugger\tes.jar;C:\debugger\jt400.jar;C:\debugger\jhall.jar
