Alternative Ways to Debug Services

If your enterprise server is running on the same machine as your debugger, you can use the following alternative methods for debugging.

Start a debug service execution process using the cassi /a command.
To use a debug service execution process for Enterprise Server debugging
Modify the COBOL code of your application to include a CBL_DEBUGBREAK statement, while running your enterprise server as a System service.
To use this technique, the debugger and the process being debugged must be in the same security context. Also, note that you cannot use this technique on Windows Vista or later, or with some earlier releases of Windows.
- To create program reports
- To use CBL_DEBUGBREAK for debugging with Enterprise Server running as a system service
Modify the COBOL code of your application to include a CBL_DEBUGBREAK statement, while running your enterprise server under your own user ID. This technique has the benefit of allowing you to save breakpoints and monitors between sessions.
To use CBL_DEBUGBREAK for debugging with Enterprise Server running under your user ID
As an alternative to inserting the CBL_DEBUGBREAK command into the code of your program, you can compile it with the Compiler directive INITCALL"CBL_DEBUGBREAK".
