Attaching WebSphere Studio Application Developer to a remote debug session

The steps below describe how to attach WebSphere Studio Application Developer to a remote debug session on WebSphere Application Server for z/OS.

About this task

Remote debugging can prove useful when the program you are debugging behaves differently on a z/OS system than on your local system.

Procedure

  1. Enable the debug engine on WebSphere Application Server for z/OS using the adminstrative console. See Debugging Service details.
  2. Import the java source code you wish to debug into WebSphere Studio Application Developer and set breakpoints. See the WebSphere Studio Application Developer information center at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wsphelp for instructions on setting breakpoints.
  3. Open a WebSphere Studio Application Developer debug perspective and create a debug session configuration.
  4. Attach WebSphere Studio Application Developer to the WebSphere Application Server for z/OS debug runtime. See "Connecting to a remote VM with the remote Java application launch configuration" in the WebSphere Studio Application Developer information center at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wsphelp.
  5. Run the Java code in WebSphere Application Server for z/OS to hit the breakpoints set in WebSphere Studio Application Developer.
  6. Use WebSphere Studio Application Developer debugger controls and features to debug the application.
