<h1 class="topictitle1">Multithreaded job debugging</h1>
<div><p>The <span class="apiname">spawn()</span> API provides a mechanism to allow
you to start a debugging session before actually calling the multithreaded
program to be debugged.</p>
<div class="section"><p>Setting the QIBM_CHILD_JOB_SNDINQMSG environment variable to 1
controls this capability. Refer to the usage notes for the spawn() API in
the System API Reference, for details about the use of this environment variable.</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>An example <span class="cmdname">SPAWN</span> command is available for your
use and modification as part of <span class="keyword">i5/OS™</span> option
7, the <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> Example Tools
Library, QUSRTOOL. Member TP0ZINFO in the file QATTINFO in the QUSRTOOL library
contains information about how to create the <span class="cmdname">SPAWN</span> CL command.</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>You can also simplify the process of starting a job that runs
the multithreaded program and the debugging session by creating a command
(such as the SPAWN command) that performs the necessary steps. The steps
are as follows: </p>
<ul><li>Signing on to a display station session</li>
<li>Starting a job to run the multithreaded program</li>
<li>Using the <span class="cmdname">Start Service Job (STRSRVJOB)</span> command to
service the job running the multithreaded program</li>
<li>Calling the <span class="cmdname">Start Debug (STRDBG)</span> command, adding programs
to debug, and setting breakpoints</li>
<li>Notifying the servicing job when the thread hits a breakpoint so that
it stops the thread</li>
<li>Stopping all threads with the debugger support</li>
<li>Issuing valid debug commands from the debug screen that is displayed</li>
<li>Resuming the thread that hit the breakpoint and then all other threads</li>
<li>Repeating the above cycle until debugging is complete</li>
<li>Calling the <span class="cmdname">End Debug (ENDDBG)</span> command</li>
</ul>
</div>
