Thanks Yuan,  I will do the PMR.  I was not aware of the "Clear all service entry point" option though.

Hi Paul,
The steps you did sounds correct to me.  Once you re-compile your program, you should right click on the SEP in Service Entry Point view, and choose Refresh.  Remove and reset will not work.  Does this problem happens all the time?  Could you please open a PMR so that we can look more into it?
For now, one way to workaround this problem is to click on a drop down in the right top corner of the Service Entry Point view, and choose "Clear all service entry point -> ConnectionName" to reset the Service Entry Point engine job.  And then set the SEP again.
Thanks,

How do you get RDP Service Entry points to reset/restart once a program has been recompiled?
I have had a gnawing issue for a while...
1.       Set a service entry point on a program
2.       Run the program
3.       Debug in RDP thanks to the service entry point until logic error
is determined
4.       Find code that needs to be changed and fix it.
5.       Recompile the program
6.       Refresh the service entry point (or even delete the service entry
point and reset it)
7.       Run the newly compiled version of the program
8.       However ... I no longer can get the RDP debugger to kick in on the
service entry point.
In this scenario, the only way I have been able to get the service entry point debugging to work is exit RDP and restart.
There must be a better way.
Can anyone have any offer any tips for this?
