This document covers the following topics:
The debugger is integrated in Natural Studio. The complete Natural Studio functionality can be used in parallel to the debugger. For example, when the debugger is active, you can navigate to another object in the library workspace or you can search for a specific object using the command.
The debugger is used to debug Natural applications in the local environment. To be able to debug Natural applications, it
is required to set the Natural parameter SYMGEN to "ON" before you catalog the Natural application (see also Preparing to Use the Debugger). Natural Studio
handles all steps internally (such as setting up or terminating the
communication with the corresponding server).
See also Environments and Views in the Library Workspace in the documentation Using Natural Studio and Accessing a Remote Development Environment in the documentation Remote Development Using SPoD.
Note:
Several differences exist when you debug applications in a remote
mainframe environment. These differences are listed in the platform-specific
Natural Development Server (NDV) documentation which applies to this Natural
release. The NDV documentation is available separately; it is not part of this
Natural for Windows documentation.
Remote debugging is no longer supported. Instead, you will have to use the debugger of NaturalONE. Using the NaturalONE debugger, it is possible, for example, to debug Natural RPC applications or to debug workplace applications which have been created with Natural for Ajax.
