Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
Debugging and Troubleshooting

Remote debugging

Remote debugging is the ability to debug server-side and remote application procedures. This mode prevents debugging any procedure in a client application session. Remote debugging allows you to debug application code running on an AppServer process or a WebSpeed agent independently of the calling client application. Remote debugging is useful for debugging remote procedures that are:

Running on an AppServer.
Running on a WebSpeed agent.
Executed by an Open Client (non-4GL client) application.
Executed by a 4GL Web Services.
Executed asynchronously on the AppServer from a 4GL client application.

In this debugging mode, the client application driving an AppServer process is unaware that the Debugger is running on the AppServer process. On the server side, the procedure call stack shown in the Debugger 4GL stack trace pane reflects only entries up to the top level remote procedure call. It does not reflect entries for the 4GL client application that is driving the AppServer process.
