Step-by-step debugging is the alternative to setting your own method breakpoints on the trace. In step-by-step mode, OLT halts your application at the entry to every debuggable server method. A Breakpoints dialog box opens and prompts you to step into the debuggable code. If you select the breakpoint, and click OK, a debugger window opens and displays the first executable line in the server method. (The debugger steps over any non-debuggable "glue" code.) You cannot go back and bring up the debugger on a previous call. To do this, you must rerun the application.
While the debugger is open, it is in complete control of the application server. Any other users tracing on the application server will be suspended. Also, users will not be able to connect to the application server.
Note: When your application is calling objects on multiple servers, the dialog box may list multiple method breakpoints. Select all those that you want to step into, then click OK.
Step-by-step debug mode is selected by default.
