Developing WebSpeed Applications
Debugging Applications : Overview
 

Overview

When debugging is enabled, debugging information is appended to each Web page that your application generates. When debugging is enabled, a WebSpeed global variable, debugging-enabled, is set to TRUE. For more information on Environment or Application Mode and Debugging parameters, see OpenEdge Application Server: Administration.
You can also use the Application Debugger to debug SpeedScript applications running on a WebSpeed agent. The process is the same as debugging an application running on an AppServer agent. For more information see OpenEdge Development: Debugging and Troubleshooting and the debugging chapter of OpenEdge Application Server: Developing AppServer Applications.
If you have Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge installed, note that, in addition to the standalone OpenEdge Debugger that is described in this book, OpenEdge provides remote debugging support in the Debug perspective of Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge. The Debug perspective is an integral part of Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge and works directly with the ABL Editor, making it easy to identify and fix problems as you work. For more information about using the Debug perspective to debug WebSpeed applications, see the Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge online help.
