The iSeries debugger

The iSeries debugger is a powerful tool for debugging your servlet, JavaServer Pages^(TM) (JSP^(TM)) file, or enterprise bean code from an iSeries session. The system debugger should be used when you are starting up successfully but are encountering problems during the running of your code. Typically, you would use the system debugger in conjunction with the application server log files. The JVM log files are initially used to determine the general location in the code where the error is occurring, and after it is determined that the problem probably lies in the user code, you can use the system debugger to set breakpoints, step through the code, and look at variables.

To setup and use the iSeries debugger, see the following topics:
