Configuring the flow debug port in the WebSphere Message Broker Explorer
Before you can debug a message flow, you must configure and enable the flow debug port. The flow debug port is also known as the Java™ debug port, and the JVM debug port.
Use the WebSphere® Message Broker Explorer, or WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit to set the flow debug port
value to enable the flow debugger to be connected to an execution
group. Alternatively, you can use the command console or the Message Broker API to configure this property.
Using the WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit
- Select the broker with which you want to work in the Brokers view.
- Right-click the execution group which you want to work, and click Launch Debugger. If the flow debug port is already configured, the port number is displayed in the Enable window.
- To change the flow debug port, click Configure.
- Set a port number for the debug port. The port number must be a number that is not already in use.
- Click OK. The execution group is stopped and restarted, and the flow debug port is configured to use the specified port.
- If you want to continue to attach the debugger to the execution group for debugging, click OK. To exit the Enable window without attaching the debugger, click Cancel.
To start debugging your message flows, switch to the Debug perspective. Right-click the execution group, and click Terminate Debugger to stop debugging on the selected execution group.
Using the WebSphere Message Broker Explorer
- Expand the Brokers folder in the Navigator view.
- Right-click the execution group which you want to work, and click Properties. The Properties window is displayed.
- Click Flow Debug Port on the left to display the Flow Debug Port tab.
- Set a port number for the debug port. The port number must be a number that is not already in use.
- Click Apply.
- Click OK to exit the Properties view.
- Right-click the execution group, and click to enable debugging on the selected execution group.
You can connect the flow debugger to your execution group by using the WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit, see the instructions in Using the WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit. Click to disable debugging on the selected execution group.
