RDi 9.5.0.3: Source search path for the code coverage cannot be changed

We use the application Rational Developer for i (RDi), ver: 9.5.0.3.

We have the source and the object on two different IBMi server. In this case, the feature code coverage doesn't work.

I found out, the source search path for the code coverage cannot be changed from it's default.

Further details are in the PMR.


Use Case:

I set the SEP successfully.

Then I right clicked on the SEP in the IBM i Service Entry Points view and selected the action to open launch configuration ("Edit" possibility missed, only "Open" was hier).

In the dialog that comes up I couldn't select the Source tab, because wasn't hier - so I can't edit source path, however in Debug mode exits this tab.

    This RFE has been re-evaluated. Due to the relatively low number of votes, this RFE is now being declined.

    Although the theme of this request is consistent with our business strategy, it is not committed to the release that is currently under development.

    A preliminary evaluation of this request indicates that it is consistent with our business strategy. Further evaluation of this RFE is underway.
