Attaching the debugger to a NonStop process

As an alternative to debugging an application by launching the application under debugger

control, you can attach the debugger to a NonStop process. You might want to use this method

in these situations:

• When it is difficult to start the process from the debugger, such as when the process is started

in a Guardian Pathway environment.

• When you need more complex or different terminal emulation than the NSDEE console provides.

To attach the debugger to a NonStop process, you must select or create a NonStop Attach Process

debug configuration:

• If you want to reuse an existing NonStop Attach Process debug configuration, you must modify

it to specify CPU and PID. Then, in the Debug Configurations dialog, in the list of configurations,

you can double-click to launch it.

TIP: If the configurations list contains a large number of debug configurations, find the one

you want to select by filtering the results as described in “Listing and filtering debug

configurations” (page 27).

• To create a new NonStop Attach Process debug configuration, see “Creating a new NonStop

Attach Process debug configuration” (page 20).

• To modify an existing NonStop Attach Process debug configuration, see “Modifying an existing

NonStop Attach Process debug configuration” (page 23).

NOTE: Often you can access wizards, dialogs, and actions using more than one method. For

information about other methods for accessing a wizard or dialog, see the reference topic for that

wizard or dialog.
