Starting an Interactive Debugging Session

Start a debugging session on the PC first, and then start the executable on the OS 2200 system.

To start the debugging session on the PC, do the following:

1. Select the OS 2200 project.

2. Click Debug Configurations... on the Run menu or in the list at the arrow on the side of the debug toolbar item (identified by a bug icon )

The Debug Configurations dialog box opens.

3. Expand (double-click) OS 2200 Launcher in the left panel.

A new item is created that contains the debugging properties of the project.

4. In the Name box, type the name of this configuration (the default name is New_Configuration).

The name appears under OS 2200 Launcher in the left panel.

5. Select one of the following options to indicate how the debugging session should stop in the program:

• Stop on first line

• Stop on first line if no breakpoint (default)

• Stop on first breakpoint

6. Click Debug.

The debugging session starts, and the perspective switches to the Debug perspective.

To start the executable on the OS 2200

• For demand or batch jobs, use the Eclipse Telnet client.

• For full-screen programs or transactions, use an emulator.

Note: The elapsed time to call back can vary. A demand program using a fast connection usually calls back almost immediately, while a transaction can take more than two minutes. The speed of the connection to the OS 2200 affects the callback time.

Refer to Controlling an Interactive Debugging Session for information about controls on the debug perspective.
