Connection tab (Progress OpenEdge External AVM)
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:

Connection type
Specifies the connection type of the application to be debugged.

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.
