Using Distributed Debugging

Distributed debugging is the mode you are most likely to use for 4GL client applications that drive state-reset or state-aware AppServers because it more naturally follows the structure of your distributed application. It allows you to fully examine your procedures just as they are invoked in this environment.

NOTE: You cannot use this mode for Java and ActiveX Controller client applications.

From your root client application, you can initiate distributed debugging from the Procedure Editor or the AppBuilder Tools. Then you can debug remote procedures in any of the connected AppServer sessions. Next, you can set breakpoints, step into remote procedures, and examine program variables and buffers in an integrated, rather than a disjointed manner.
