Debugging Shared Containers

The process for debugging Shared Containers is the same as that for other jobs, but breakpoints are handled differently:

• You cannot place a breakpoint on a link which has a container as its source stage.
  

  Instead, you should place the breakpoint on the same link as represented within the container view. The link will only be shown as having a breakpoint in the container view.

  
• If a breakpoint is set on a link inside a Shared Container, it will only become active (and visible) for the target job as shown on the debug bar.
  
  Note: The debug bar only shows open Server Jobs because a Shared Container cannot be run outside the context of a job.
• If a different job uses the same shared container that is being debugged, then the breakpoint will not be visible or be hit in the other job. The example below shows a job called `Ex2' which uses the same shared container as the previous example called `Exercise 4.' The breakpoint will only be set for the target job which is Exercise 4.
