About the Debug Perspective

When you debug a service, use the Debug perspective. The Debug perspective contains various views for helping you debug your service. The following table briefly describes the views available in the Debug perspective. With the exception of Results view, these views are part of the Eclipse Debugging framework.

View	Description
Debug view	Displays the debug sessions and contains tools to manage the debugging. When debugging a service in Designer, the Debug view displays the stack frames associated with each launch configuration. Debug view contains commands to start, stop, and step through a service.
Breakpoints view	Displays all the breakpoints currently set in your workspace.
Results view	Displays the results of running or debugging a service via a launch configuration in Designer.
Variables view	Displays information about the set of variables for the selected stack frame in Debug view. When using Designer to debug a service, Variables view displays the contents of the pipeline prior to the execution of the flow step in the selected stack frame in Debug view. The details pane in Variables view displays detailed information about the selected variable. You can edit the variable value in the detail pane. You can save or modify the contents of Variables view before resuming execution. Variables view will be blank after the service executes to completion.
