Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Deployment:
Startup Command and Parameter Reference

Enable Attachable Debugging (-debugReady)

Use Enable Attachable Debugging (-debugReady) to enable a Progress process (that is, a Progress 4GL client, a single WebSpeed agent, or single AppServer process) to be attached to by the Debugger.

Operating system and syntax	UNIX Windows	-debugReady { 0 | port-number }

port-number

The port on which Progress opens a socket for connecting to the attachable Debugger. If you want Progress to find an available port, enter 0 (zero). The default value is 0.

A 4GL developer can attach the attachable Debugger to any Progress session running locally or remotely in a LAN environment. This allows the developer to run the Debugger on one machine and debug a Progress process running on another machine.

You cannot specify both the Debugger (-debug) and Enable Attachable Debugging (-debugReady) startup parameters on the command line at the same time. If you do, Progress generates an error and shuts down.

For more information about the attachable Debugger, see OpenEdge Development: Debugging and Troubleshooting .
