Error description

  • When debugging EGL Web Transactions by starting the WTE in debug
    mode,
    the generated program type VGWebTransaction should be called on
    CICS,
    if the source code is not in workspace.
    We have played around with the Web Transaction linkage propertie
    s,
    Debug Behavior mapping preferences and build descriptor options.
    
    Its seems that we can't call a generated program directly from t
    he
    Gateway Servlet in debug mode.
    RBD always throws an error if the source code is not in workspac
    e.
    Because of the size of the applications it is not possible (and
    unwanted) to have the entire application in workspace. It is an
    absolute requirement to be able to call generated web transactio
    ns on
    CICS in WTE Debug Mode.
    We are running:
    Windows XP
    RBD 7.1.0.4 with WAS 6.0.2.15 Test Environment
    GatewayServlet: IBM EGL/VisualAge Generator Gateway V4.5 FP5

    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    When the source of a web transaction is not in the
    workspace, and the server is in debug mode, the framework
    exits with an error instead of falling back on the generated
    version of the program.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The framework now invokes the generated web transaction if
    the source is not available for the debugger to run.
    

Temporary fix
