The Connection tab in the Progress OpenEdge External AVM section of the Debug Configurations wizard contains the required settings for defining an external AVM debug launch configuration, as well as some other frequently used options for debugging an external AVM. See Progress External OpenEdge AVM settings (Debug Configuration only) for information on accessing the Debug Configurations wizard.
The following controls are available on the Connection tab:
| Control | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Name (accessible from all tabs) | (Required) The name of the launch configuration, which appears on menus and in the left pane of the Configurations wizard. |
| Connection type | Specifies the connection type of the application to be debugged. |
| Make debug-ready and attach (local host only) | Makes a process debug-ready and attaches the Debugger to the process. Select this option only if the process is running on the same machine as the Debugger. |
| Process ID | Specifies the ID of the process on the local machine which you want to debug. |
| Select Process | (Optional) Displays the list of currently running OpenEdge processes on the same machine as the Debugger, in the Select Process dialog. |
| Port | (On local machine) Specifies the port number which you want to use for communicating with the client process. The default value (0) instructs the AVM to determine a usable port number. |
| Attach to debug-ready process | Attaches the Debugger to a process you have already made debug-ready. Select this option if the AVM instance is running on a remote machine. |
| Host | Specifies the name of the host on which the process is running. You can accept the default localhost. You must enter a host name if the process is not running on the same machine as the Debugger. |
| Debug Port | (On remote machine) Specifies the port number which was used to make the process debug-ready. |
| Application Name | Specifies the name of the application. Note: This
applies only to Progress Application Server for
OpenEdge.
|
| Enable SSL | Specifies that all connections must use SSL tunneling. |
| Certificate Path | Specifies the certificate location of the client that is attached to the Debugger. |
| Apply | Saves the current launch configuration definition. |
| Revert | Discards unsaved changes to the current launch configuration definition. |
| Debug | Debugs the specified external OpenEdge AVM. |
| Close | Closes the Configurations wizard. |
