The IBM i Debugger is part of the Toolbox for Java. I've downloaded and installed it and got it working. (Note that this is *not* the RDi debugger.)

In ACS, Run SQL Scripts> Run System Debugger, I believe I'm running the same product. The screens look the same and the servicing jobs on the IBM i look the same.

I've run into two issues:

1) Documentation: I'm having trouble finding any current documentation. V7.2 is the latest I can find and it's an 18 page PDF that seems unchanged from V6.1.

2) Use of QGPL. You need *CHANGE to QGPL because it creates a data queue in there. Not everyone allows developers to create objects in QGPL. Is there any way to specify an alternate library?

Thanks,

Sam
