Attaching a Debugger to a Running Application
You can attach a debugger to a running application and examine the debug configuration that the debugger creates.
Do not attach a debugger to more than one application running on the same node because the applications interfere with each other. To debug multiple applications on the same node, create a remote debug configuration and add multiple applications in the Remote Applications tab.
Only one debugger can be attached to an application. The launch configuration tests to see if there is a conflict and if so, it displays an error. If multiple users try to attach to applications on the same node, the connection fails.
- Procedure
- In the Administrator Explorer View, expand the nodes of the Administrator server that manages the application.
- Right-click the application and select
Attach DebuggerThe debugger is attached to the running process and a debug configuration is created if one did not already exist. In the Debug perspective, the Debug view displays the attached debuggers.
