APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
Using the debug UI in Rational Developer for i (RDI) 9.6.0.8 and trying to debug a running IBM i job may result in the message "CRRDG3002E Connection with the Debug Engine lost". The joblog for the QB5SERVER job will show an MCH0601 from program QB5IDEAL and module B5SYSSYSSV.
Local fix
Unchecking the "Step into" preference in the debug definition can help in some cases. Also restarting the IBM i machine can cause the debug engine and debug server to be started at a different memory location that may avoid the problem as well.
