By default, the integration debugger is optimized for regular debugging of application modules and components in IBM® Integration Designer. However, if you are experiencing problems with the debugger, you can specify options that enable you to perform problem determination on the debugger under the guidance of IBM support personnel.

About this task

To specify regular debugging or problem determination debugging:

Procedure

  1. From the Window menu, select Preferences. The Preferences window opens.
  2. In the Preferences window, expand Business Integration and select debug. The debug page opens.
  3. In the debug options radio button group, choose one of the following radio buttons:
    • Select IBM Integration Designer debugging for regular debugging of application modules and components. This is the default selection and you should leave this option selected unless you need to perform problem determination on the debugger under the guidance of IBM support personnel.
    • Select Internal debugger debugging to perform problem determination on the debugger run time code under the guidance of support personnel.
    • Select System debugging to perform problem determination on the runtime system code under the guidance of IBM support personnel. (When this option is selected, certain aspects of breakpoint processing are ignored, which enables the breakpoint information to be displayed more quickly.)
  4. Click Apply.
  5. If you have selected the System debugging option, then you must disable step filtering for all com.ibm.* subclasses by completing the following steps:
    1. In the navigation tree of the Preferences window, expand Java and expand debug.
    2. Select Step Filtering. The Step Filtering page opens.
    3. If the Use step filters check box is selected, then clear the com.ibm.* check box in the Defined step filters list and click Apply.
  6. Click OK to close the Preferences window.

What to do next

If you have chosen a debug option that enables you to perform problem determination on the debugger, you must remember to re-select the IBM Integration Designer debugging option and the com.ibm.* step filter when you have finished with your problem determination.
