Revision as of 16:47, 30 May 2023

This section contains brief descriptions of the features added in each "build" of the Debugger Client. You can determine the current build number by selecting the About option of the Help menu.

Build: 69  (April 2022)

TN3270 Debugger:

When used with Model 204 version 7.7 or higher, support the TN3270 DEBUG WAIT command via:

  • Execution>Connect to online... menu item and dialog

Subroutine/method context for source lines and variable value traces is available:

  • Requires M204 version 7.8 or higher
  • When execution stops for a breakpoint, runtime error, return from daemon, $WEB_FORM_DONE, "until value =" satisfied, or completion of READ SCREEN, additional information is displayed in the status area: The routine or method being executed is identified, along with its type (subroutine, method, local function, etc)
  • When you right click on a program line, the context menu item "Procedure Information" has been renamed to "Line Information". If "Line Information" is selected, the display now identifies which routine or method contains the  line.  The same change has been made to the context menu in the Execution Trace display
  • When a value trace is run, each line of the value trace (in the Execution Tab) identifies the subroutine or method that changed the value  
  • Added routineName.%var syntax to Value button/valueDisplay command to view variables along a call stack (by context).

Execution Trace improvements:

  • Added 'Show In Source Context' menu to Execution Trace lines to show them in source context

HELP command options were added:

  • help connecting
  • help workers
  • help list

Client commands were added:

  • shell runs a program or opens a DOS box

Debugger macro &&functions were added:

Debugger macro improvements:

  • Allow &&functions to be used as arguments to other &&functions.
  • Allow &&functions to be used as arguments to evaluate

Audit trail control:

Added <auditLines> to debuggerConfig.xml to control number of audit lines kept in the audit tab.

Build: 68  (November 2018) 

This build was strictly bug fixes, and logging improvements.  No new functionality was added.

Build: 67  (05 July 2017) 

Naming and limiting the number of daily Client log files (see step 6) In the Client configuration file, in addition to invoking automatic creation of a new log file on a daily basis, you can now specify how many days worth of previous logs to retain. The new daily log is always named log.txt; the names of previous daily logs include their creation dates.

Configuring the location for the Debugger documentation files You can relocate and optionally rename the installed defaults of the Debugger Client Help file, its PDF representation, or both.

Build: 66  (03 April 2017)  

In the Client configuration, you can specify automatic creation (see step 6) of a new log file on a daily basis to control growth of the log. You can also turn logging off.

Build: 65  (01 September 2016)  

Added &&buildNumber function.

Made errors that might occur in connecting to server more visible via a message box.

Improves error reporting on MINDEBCL violations from the mainframe.

Build: 64  (07 October 2015) 

Added "jandeb_" prefix to all generated JavaScript function names in generated Proxy Auto Config (PAC) files.

Support Microsoft IPV6 extensions in existing PAC files (FindProxyForURLEx function).

Send Client version information to the mainframe: the build and tag number are reported in the MSIR.1077 message.


Build: 63  (06 July 2015) 

Support procedures running on daemons for Run Until and White or Black List processing.

Support object expansion for JSON class objects.

The Preferences window IE Mode options (newPac and mergedPac) are enhanced to support HTTP URLs as well as file URLs. The options invoke automatic creation and maintenance of Proxy Auto Config (PAC) files, which designate the only host URLs that the Debugger Client will handle requests for as a proxy server for the IE and Chrome browsers.

The Client may now use HTTP to upload generated PAC files to the HTTP server specified in the Client's configuration file.

Added the httpPacURL element to the debuggerConfig.xml file to identify the HTTP server configured to accept and serve PAC files.

This lets you press Enter repeatedly to find subsequent occurrences of a search string. Formerly, pressing Enter again found the same occurrence as the first time because it repeated the search from the top.
      :: Note: This introduces a small upward incompatibility.
    • New focusToSearchBox command gives the input focus to the Search string text area. The CTRL-F key combination is changed to perform the same function by default.

  • Length limit increased to 255 for %variables whose value you set


Build: 11  (09 January 2007) 

These are the principal changes since the previous build:

  • STATUS option for TN3270 DEBUG command
Using the STATUS option produces a simple status report of the Debugger worker threads.
  • White List processing enhancements
Processing is moved to the mainframe to eliminate code transfer and provide response time benefit. Also, trailing wild cards are now allowed in the White List.
  • Step Out option
By pressing the Alt key and clicking the Client GUI Step Over button, you can immediately discontinue the Debugger processing of a called subroutine, method, or daemon and continue processing at the statement after the call to the subroutine, method, or daemon. This action is called a "Step Out".
  • Skipping over Daemon code
By pressing the Alt key and clicking the Client GUI Run button, you can discontinue the interactive debugging of the Daemon object calls in your program. The Daemon code executes but is not displayed in the Debugger Client.

From the file menu, the Restart option shuts down the Debugger Client. The Client then restarts, doing the same processing as if you started it by clicking its desktop icon.
  • Main working area is resizable  
You can now drag the black bar just above the page navigation buttons to resize the main working window in the Client.
  • Improvements to $list and Stringlist viewing
For a float variable $list handle or for a Stringlist object variable, you can now request a display of its elements, which will be presented in a data viewer similar to the way XML documents are displayed.


Build: 9  (17 November 2006) 

These are the principal changes since the previous build:

  • Run Until spans debug sessions
The Run Until spans HTTP requests option is renamed to Run Until spans debug sessions, and it is generalized to work with the TN3270 Debugger as well as with the Janus Debugger. With this option turned on, Run Until continues searching through the source program until it finds the specified procedure, even if the debugging session is interrupted by a loss of the connection to the Online or the TN3270 Debugger is toggled off and on again. When the session resumes, the Client keeps searching for the target procedure.
  • Performance statistics kept in log file are enhanced to report the number of bytes received per message incoming to the Debugger Client.


Build: 8  (13 November 2006) 

These are the principal changes since the previous build:

  • Right clicking Source Code lines lets you display variable values

As described in Displaying the value of a program data item, this approach lets you display a variable’s value just as if you entered the variable name in the Variable or Field input area, then clicked the Value button.


Build: 7  (5 November 2006) 

These are the principal changes since the previous build:

  • The installation kit now installs a required file (gdiplus.dll) to the installation target folder instead of to the system root folder, avoiding any security issues concerning folder write permissions.
  • Minor memory use and performance improvements for both source code loading and variable watching.


Build: 6  (25 October 2006) 

These are the principal changes since the previous build:

  • Save and restore proxy settings for Microsoft Internet Explorer
The automatic maintenance of proxy settings for Janus Debugger IE users that was added in Build 5 did not save and restore all proxy related settings. It now does.
  • Performance improvements for watching variables
The display of the values of watched variables is slightly accelerated.


Build: 5  (18 October 2006) 

These are the principal changes since the previous build:

  • Better proxy control for Internet Explorer
For those Janus Debugger users whose browser is Microsoft Internet Explorer, the task of defining the Debugger Client as the proxy server can be handled automatically by the Client when it starts up (and undone when the Client shuts down).
  • Improved source line scrolling
To avoid having the current execution position in a source tab be the last line on the page (obscuring the next line of code), the display of the highlighted current position now includes the next two lines.


Build: 4  (2 October 2006)

These are the principal changes since the previous build:

  • Performance improvements for very long programs
Elapsed time for transferring and displaying programs with thousands of lines of code has been reduced by 90%. In addition, a new configuration file setting lets you trace the time the Client spends handling program code (see Tracking Client performance).


Build: 3  (27 September 2006) 

These are the principal changes since the previous build:

  • Run Until Procedure processing can ignore the end of an HTTP request
This feature is designed to make it easier to debug HTML frame based web applications, since the Client by default terminates the search for a designated Run Until procedure at the end of an HTTP request. Thus, a procedure search stops by default after each SOUL produced frame in a single HTML frameset statement.
The File > Preferences menu option displays a checkbox that lets you direct the Client to continue across multiple HTTP requests until the specified Run Until procedure name or pattern is satisfied. See Precedence and scope for Run Until.
  • Selecting which of multiple web servers are eligible for debugging

After selecting the File > Preferences menu option, you can choose which of the Onlines specified in the Client configuration file (debuggerconfig.xml) are to have their web requests debugged. For more information, see Debugging multiple Web Servers.  

  • New hot key combination for Preferences option
The CTRL-P key combination now invokes the Preferences option of the File menu.


Build: 2  (4 September 2006)

These are the principal changes since the previous build:

  • Simplified editing and reloading of a White List
You can now edit or create a white list file (whitelist.txt) with the Windows Notepad editor by selecting Edit White List from the Debugger Client File menu. In addition, instead of restarting the Client to reload the list when done editing, you simply click the Reload White List button on the Proc Selection tab.
White list processing is described in Running only to listed procedures.
  • Enhanced status reporting
    • An hourglass cursor displays whenever the Client is waiting for processing to complete on the Online.
    • Additional status area message values indicate that the GUI is waiting for the Online to respond:
  • Waiting for Online is displayed when source code is being sent from the Online to the Client workstation, or when the Online is processing the Client's Step, Run, Run Until, or Trace command. The Waiting for Online message is also displayed in TN3270 Debugger sessions whenever the Client awaits a new request from the Online.
  • Receiving/Forwarding Web Page is displayed by the Janus Debugger Client when a Web Server's HTTP response to a web request is being read by the Client and forwarded to the web browser.
  • Persistent Session Suspended (see Debugging Web Server persistent sessions) is changed to Session awaits browser.
    • When White List processing is toggled on or off from the Proc Selection tab, White list is active or White list turned off is displayed as appropriate.
  • New hot key combination for Search command
