To prepare for debugging on Enterprise Server

  1. Compile your project for debugging.
  2. In Server Explorer, right-click the required enterprise server node, then select Open Administration Page.

    ESCWA is opened in your default browser, and displays the General Properties page of the selected server.

  3. Ensure that Allow Dynamic Debugging is selected. If it is not already selected, select the option and restart the server.
    Tip: An alternative to checking this option is to set the Automatically enable dynamic debugging option, available from Window > Preferences > Micro Focus > Enterprise Server, to Always; this ensures that if dynamic debugging is not enabled in the enterprise server when you start debugging, the IDE enables it automatically when you enter debug mode.
  4. Configure the enterprise server to run your application or transaction, as required.
  5. If your application is a service generated using the Interface Mapping Toolkit, you might be required to EJB), create a client program to submit requests for that service.
  6. Associate the project with the enterprise server:
    1. Ensure that your project is open.
    2. In Server Explorer, right-click the enterprise server with which to associate your project. (You cannot select an enterprise server connected to a remote directory server.)
      Tip: Use the filter box in the top-right corner of the Server Explorer to restrict the servers displayed: type in the box to automatically restrict the list of servers displayed.
    3. Click Associate with project > your project .
