Getting started (Debugger)

To get started:

1. Make sure the following are true:

• The product has successfully been installed and configured, on the mainframe and on the workstation that is to host the Debugger Client.

If you are unsure, you may want to review the installation documentation and/or rerun the final installation test.

• The Debugger Server is started.
• For the TN3270 Debugger, the Debugger Server client socket port is started.   This is not needed if you only use TN3270 DEBUG WAIT.
• The Debugger Client is started.

2. Make sure debugging is turned on:

• Janus Debugger: Ensure you have done the proxy server setup for whichever web browser you use.
• TN3270 Debugger: From the Model 204 command line, issue the TN3270 DEBUG ON or the TN3270 DEBUG WAIT command. Your session lasts until you log off Model 204 or issue TN3270 DEBUG OFF or the Debugger Client turnOffDebugging command

3. Run a request you want to debug:

• Janus Debugger: From your web browser, invoke a URL that accesses a SOUL program that is run by your Janus Web Server.
• TN3270 Debugger: From the Model 204 command line, start a SOUL program (Include a procedure or invoke an APSY subsystem).

4. Using the Debugger Client GUI, control the execution of the SOUL code.

You might take a few minutes with Getting Acquainted with the Client GUI, then try some of the operations described in Performing Basic GUI Tasks.
