Re: How to get connection name from DebuggeeProcess? -- WDSCI-L

Hello Thomas,
It looks like you are innovation and creating lots of new goodies which is
always welcome!
Here feedback from the debug developer on your questions
1) The package com.ibm.debug.pdt.internal.core.model is actually exported
from the com.ibm.debug.pdt.core plugin. The user said it is not exported
probably because he did not add the plugin "com.ibm.debug.pdt.core" to
the Require-Bundle list in the MANIFEST.MF file of his own plugin. Please
add him to add com.ibm.debug.pdt.core as a Require-Bundle and try again.
2) The user can use the base class PDTDebugTarget to access most of the
methods for PDT debug target. The connection label is a field of this
class. PDTDebugTarget is under the
package com.ibm.debug.pdt.internal.core, which is also exported from
plugin com.ibm.debug.pdt.core

I hope this helps you get the connections name and create your menu item
action.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [WDSCI-L] How to get connection name from
DebuggeeProcess?
Date: Sun, Oct 4, 2020 10:06 AM

Hi (IBM),

I already managed adding a menu entry to the popup menu of the "Debug"
view in order to start the "iSphere Job Log Explorer", when the debugger
stops at a service entry point:

   targetID="org.eclipse.debug.ui.DebugView"
   id="org.eclipse.debug.ui.debugview.popupMenu">

I also could retrieve the qualified job number from the IProcess
selected object (Last entry in den Debug view, e.g. "Process:
403007/QUSER/QZRCSRVS Program SPLF").

Hence I now have 1 out of 2 parameters that I need to open the Job Log
Explorer. The missing parameter is the connection name.

I can see, that IProcess is a DebuggeeProcess and that DebuggeeProcess
has an "fTarget" attribute. fTarget is a PICLDebugTarget class and has
an "fConnectionLabel" attribute. So that is close to the connection name
that I need.

Sadly I am stuck here. The problems I could not yet solve are:

a) com.ibm.debug.pdt.internal.core.model.DebuggeeProcess is not exported
and hence cannot be imported to the iSphere project.

b) The same thing applies to com.ibm.debug.internal.pdt.PICLDebugTarget

c) Retrieving the connection name.

So the question is, how can I get the connection name at this point
(???):

public class OpenJobLogDebugPopupAction implements IViewActionDelegate {

   private static final String PATTERN =
"\\S*\\s+((\\d{6})/(.{1,10})/(.{1,10}))\\s+.*";

   private Object shell;
   private IStructuredSelection structuredSelection;

   public void run(IAction arg0) {
   Object selectedObject = structuredSelection.getFirstElement();
   if (selectedObject instanceof IDebugElement) {
   IDebugElement debugElement = (IDebugElement)selectedObject;
   if (selectedObject instanceof IProcess) {
   IProcess process = (IProcess)debugElement;
   String connectionName = ???;
   String qualifiedJobName = getQualifiedJobName(process);
   if (!StringHelper.isNullOrEmpty(qualifiedJobName)) {
   LoadRemoteJobLogJob job = new
LoadRemoteJobLogJob("iSphere", qualifiedJobName);
   job.run();
   }
   }
   }
   }

(The example above uses hard coded connection "iSphere".)

Regards,

Thomas.
