From RDP's point of view to check the PTFs just expand your RSE 
connection, right-click on the Objects element and select the Verify 
Connection... action.  This will start a little dialogue that shows the 
results of the checks.  Expand all the sections fully to be sure you are 
not missing any messages.

Mike,
I have a lot of authority on our development box, how do I check for the 
latest PTF?
I see some stuff applied with DSPPTF command. But, it has been over 
20-years, since I have ever check PTF stuff...
Anyway, if there is a PTF to apply, I will get with our system 
administrator to apply it. :)
More Details on my Debug Green Screen Session. It cannot find the source 
to debug. 
Which basically makes that DEBUGGER worthless! <LOL>
I get the "Source not found", and when I try to add a source path, that 
does not work either... 
I reported this before...
Here is a message in the Error-Log:

PS. The SEP work fine however! But, it is nice NOT to have to restart my 
session to get the debugger. Or I can use RDP 8.0, which still works fine. 
Just hate switching back to old version... <grin>
Oh well, not a "Show Stopper", but I sure do miss that old functionality. 
For now, I have to add SEP, and restart my testing to catch the error...

Hi, Ken,
The green-screen debug using STRRJESSN should work just fine with RDP 
8.5.1.  Do you have the latest debugger PTF applied?  You can check this 
with the Verify Connection...

Too bad the regular debug a session does NOT work on RDP 8.5, like it did 
on RDP 8.0
I do like the SEP, but sometimes the debug a green screen session, like it 
used to work... 
:(

Now when I run the job, it completes and RDI never starts debugging.
What am I missing?  I did not change the  libraries and the service 
entry point tab shows the correct program in the correct library with 
enabled yes.
I have started and stopped RDI a few times.
I myself never seem to have a problem with debug but my colleagues 
occasionally report this very issue.  The advice I give them is to end 
their green screen sessions in case there's an activation group issue.
This tends to clear up almost all of the issues they have.
On the rare occasion that hasn't helped, I ENDDBGSVR and STRDBGSVR, which 
always does the trick.
I never do anything on the SEP menu except for Set, Remove and Refresh.
 I do a Refresh after every compile, and Remove when I'm done.
