Refreshing service entry points in the IBM i Service Entry Points view

Refreshing a service entry point is useful if you set a service entry point in a program or service program and then recompile the program.

About this task

After the program is recompiled, all the service entry points set on that program are now invalid. Then, when you run the program, a debug session will not start. To avoid this, refresh at least one of the service entry points set on this program. This verifies if all the original service entry points set on this program are still valid. Any invalid service entry points are removed, and those that are still valid are refreshed.

You can refresh one or more service entry points from the IBM® i Service Entry Points view:

Procedure

  1. In the IBM i Service Entry Points view, select the service entry points that you want to refresh.
  2. Do one of the following:
    1. Right-click on your selection and click Refresh from the pop-up menu.
    2. In the toolbar, click the Refresh service entry points icon (Refresh service entry points icon (circular arrows)).
