Debugging Toolbars

In GVP and ORS Debugging perspectives, the first pane contains Debug and Navigator views.  The second pane contains views for Variables, Breakpoints, and Expressions. A GVP example is shown below.

Debug View

The Debug view shows the name of the callflow or workflow diagram being debugged, as well as the status of the debug progress or result.

 

Each toolbar button is identified in the table below.

	Remove All Terminated Launches Select to clear the Debug view of all terminated launches.
	Resume Select to resume the execution of the currently suspended debug target.
	Suspend [Not supported in Composer]
	Terminate Select to terminate the launch associated with the selected debug target.  Once a launch is terminated it can be automatically removed from the Debug view. When using the ORS Debugger, Terminate means that the session in ORS will end along with the debugging session.
	Disconnect Not supported for the GVP Debugger. When using the ORS Debugger, Disconnect means that the debugging session ends, but ORS will continue executing the SCXML.
	Step Into Disabled for both routing and voice applications.
	Step Over Step Over is the only way to step for both routing and voice applications. Select to step over the next method call (without entering it) at the currently executing line of code. Even though the method is never stepped into, the method will be executed normally.
	Step Return [Not supported in Composer]
	Drop to Frame [Not supported in Composer]
	Use Step Filters [Not supported in Composer]
	View Menu Select from the following:   View Management Java (then select from:  Show Monitors, Show System Threads, Show Qualified Names, Show Thread Groups)

	View Menu Select to show additional actions for this view. Select Working Set. Working sets group elements for display in views or for operations on a set of elements. The navigation views use working sets to restrict the set of resources that are displayed. If a working set is selected in the navigator, only resources, children of resources, and parents of resources contained in the working set are shown. Deselect Working Set. Deselects the active working sets. All elements are shown after invoking this action. Edit Active Working Set.  Opens the Edit Working Set wizard to edit the currently active working set. Sort (by name or type). Filters (class, JETEmitters, general, or *). Link with Editor.  Brings an open file to the foreground (makes  its editor session the active editor) every time you select that open file in one of the navigation views.
