Remote debug mode

In remote debug mode, the host application starts z/OS® Debugger, which communicates to a remote debugger on your workstation.

z/OS Debugger can work with the remote IDE to provide you with the ability to debug host programs, including batch programs, through a graphical user interface (GUI) on the workstation.

The following remote IDEs can be used with z/OS Debugger:

IBM® Developer for z/OS or IBM Debug for z/OS Eclipse. For more information, see Remote debugging with an Eclipse IDE.
Wazi for VS Code, through IBM Z® Open Debug, which is available in IBM Developer for z/OS Enterprise Edition and IBM Z and Cloud Modernization Stack.
Wazi for Dev Spaces, through IBM Z Open Debug, which is available in IBM Developer for z/OS Enterprise Edition and IBM Z and Cloud Modernization Stack.

For more information about the debug features available in different products and IDEs, see Overview of IBM z/OS Debugger.
