Re: Service entry point debug with condition

Hey David,

Just for you alone I asked the peeps in the know and was told that they found an authority requirement with conditional SEPs that also applies to conditional SEP in RDi. They created a FAQ entry for this in Merlin debug doc but I have not pursued it further, that exercise is left to the gentle reader.

I’m not talking about conditional breakpoints. This is a conditional SEP.

When you are setting a sep debug, there is a condition field in the dialog.

I’m not at my desk right now, but I think it’s just above the user profile
field.
