In the integration debugger and other IBM® Integration Designer tools, icons are images that are used to invoke actions. Symbols, by comparison, are images that simply represent workbench elements and they are not used to invoke actions.
For example, in the Variables view of the Debug perspective, you
can show the type names of variables by clicking the Show Type Names icon 
. However, you cannot perform any action by clicking the process variable
symbol 
.
The icons and symbols used in the integration debugger are primarily found in the following views of the Debug perspective:
- Debug view
- Component editors
- Breakpoints view
- Variables view
The icons and symbols found in these views are described in the following sections.
