Server Debugging

Debugging an IBM® Security Directory Integrator server means that every AssemblyLine started on an IBM Security Directory Integrator server will automatically establish a debug session with the Configuration Editor as if it were started in step mode.

Server debugging is activated by selecting Debug Server from the drop-down menu on a server in the Servers view. When you choose this option, the CE will connect to the server and set a Java™ property pointing to the CE for debugging.

Selecting Debug Server starts a new window where the AssemblyLines appear as they are started on the server. This is different from actively starting an AssemblyLine in the CE. When you start a debug session from the CE, it will have its own window and will not appear in this server debug window.

Each AssemblyLine started by another CE or component on the targeted server will have its own stepper panel inside this window. See section The stepper and debugger for a description of the stepper panel.
