Error description

  • Environment: Windows
    Product name: IBM? Rational? Business Developer
    Program Version    : 8.5
    Description.
    The EGL debugger produces a pop up dialog box to specify the
    default build descriptor for every program call to artifact
    within an ELGAR even if this has already been set at project
    level within the workspace, or via the default descriptor
    settings in preferences.
    
    Where multiple program calls are included the same dialog
    appears with a 'Program xxx does not have a default debug build
    descriptor specified' message.
    The user can then check the box to set the selection as the
    default descriptor in the pop up but as soon it hits another
    call statement the same dialog appears and requires to be set to
    continue debugging. Where many called programs are included this
    can be very time consuming for users.
    

Local fix

Problem summary

  • When calling a program located inside an eglar, the default
    build descriptor for the part's project was not being resolved
    correctly so the user was being prompted to select the build
    descriptor to use on the call.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The default build descriptor from the eglar part's project is
    now being resolved and the user is not prompted to select a
    build descriptor.
    

Temporary fix
