Updating the model during debugging

When you want to change your monitor model (for example, update an expression), you can switch to another page in the Monitor Model editor, such as the Monitor Details Model or KPI Model, and make the change right away. However, changes to the monitor model are not reflected in the debugging process until you stop and restart the debugger.

About this task

Restriction: Only CEI-based monitor models are supported for use with the debugger. As an alternative, deploy the monitor model to a test business monitor server and generate test events to test the processing of the monitor model.
To stop and restart the debugger, complete the following steps:

Procedure

  1. Click Terminate Supplemental information to stop the debugger. The Debug Source view closes. Optionally, you can click Remove All Terminated Launches Supplemental information to remove all terminated debugging sessions.
  2. Switch to the page you need in the Monitor Model editor (such as the Monitor Details Model or KPI Model). Make your changes and save them.
  3. Right-click the monitor model that you want to debug, and click Debug Monitor Model. Alternatively, if you want to clear data from previous debug sessions, right-click the monitor model and click Debug As > Debug Configurations to open the debug configuration window. For more information on when to clear the data, see "Configuring the debugger."
    Note: Breakpoints are persisted across debugging sessions.
