PTF for Debug on 7.3?

[jimjepson]

Trying to get the debug service running on a 7.3 machine. I temporarily applied SI79707 and SI80858. In Code for i when I try to setup the debug service, it thinks they are not installed? I must be missing something else? Any ideas?

You should check this path exists: ‘/QIBM/ProdData/IBMiDebugService/bin/certs’

[jimjepson]

The certs folder does not exist. Should I create it?

Please share the contents of your Code for IBM i output channel after you connect. If that bin directory exists, then it should know it is installed.

Can you please also share the contents of your Code for IBM i output channel after the message saying it isn’t installed appears?

[jimjepson]

After I hit the "generate certificates" button in the debug setup, I get the "Debug PTF not installed" message and nothing new is added to the "Code for IBM i" output channel. I made sure by clearing the output prior to trying to generate the certificates and the output stays empty.
