Starting the debugger on Solaris

ngsol.gif (418 bytes)ngjava.gif (225 bytes)The Distributed Debugger only supports remote debugging of interpreted Java programs on Solaris.

To start debugging a interpreted Java program on Solaris from the command line:

  1. On the Solaris system, issue the jdbug command at a command line prompt. If you issue this command without any parameters, you will be prompted for the required information in the Load Program dialog on the local system.
  2. On the local system, issue the idebug command with the remote debug parameters at a command line prompt. You must specify the -qhost parameter.

The idebug command must be issued with -qhost option when debugging a remote program.

Tip: When debugging your interpreted Java program remotely, communication between the debugger and the program being debugged may be terminated prematurely by the JVM. If this happens, you will need to reload your program. To reload your program, select File > Load Program and enter the required information in to the Load Program dialog.
