Resolving The Problem

This document provides the authorities required for debugging using the graphical or GUI debugger.

Authorities Required for Debugging

The user profile that you use to sign on to an iSeries system in the workbench iSeries logon dialog must have the following authorities:

o	USE authority to the Start Debug (STRDBG*) command.
o	USE authority to the End Debug (ENDDBG*) command.
o	USE authority to the Start Service Job (STRSRVJOB*) command.
o	USE authority to the End Service Job (ENDSRVJOB*) command.
o	Either CHANGE authority to the program or Java class being debugged, or USE authority to the program being debugged and *SERVICE special authority.

If the job that you are debugging is running under a different user profile than the user profile you use to sign on to the iSeries system from the debugger, the user profile that you use to sign on to the iSeries system from the debugger must have the following authorities:

o	*USE authority to the user profile that the job you are debugging is running under.
o	JOBCTL special authority if you do not explicitly use fully qualified program names (library/program). In other words, if you use CURLIB or LIBL or you do not specify a library name, you need to have JOBCTL special authority.

The group profile QPGMR gives you the correct authority to the STRDBG, ENDDBG, STRSRVJOB, and ENDSRVJOB commands and *JOBCTL special authority.
