Debugging a message flow application using RAD

After you have set up a unit test server configuration, you can debug a message flow application using the Debug on Server action. The following steps show you how to do this from the Broker Application Development perspective.

  1. Select the resource that you want to debug. This can be:
    • A message flow project
    • A message set project
    • A server configuration.
  2. Right-click the resource and click Debug on Server.

The configuration is published (deployed) to the target broker and execution group, the flow debugger is attached to the runtime environment, and the Flow Debug perspective opens so that you can debug your message flows or message sets. After the flow debugger is attached to the execution group, you do not need to reconnect it.

Note: You can also use Debug on Server to deploy a new unit test server configuration. See Publishing a new unit test server configuration for more information.
