You can now debug a PowerServer project, 32-bit or 64-bit, directly in PowerBuilder IDE. Except for the differences listed below, the PowerServer Debugger has the same toolset as the PowerBuilder Debugger. You can insert breakpoints, step in/over/out the scripts, add/remove watch, and use quickwatch, exactly in the same way as PowerBuilder Debugger.
Unique requirements for PowerServer project debugging
-
The debugging project candidate must already be deployed.
-
The application .exe (including Cloud App Launcher) must already be downloaded to the local machine.
PowerServer debugging platform configuration
-
Whether to debug the project as 32-bit or 64-bit shall be configured in the platform setting in the project configuration settings (Client App > Basic).
What’s Debugged
-
PowerServer debugging is performed on the compiled PBDs.
-
PowerServer projects are debugged against the PowerServer runtime, therefore, you will see the return values from the PowerServer Web APIs during the debugging process.
For more information, refer to Debugging with PowerServer Debugger.
