Integrated i Debugger

The Integrated i Debugger enables you to detect and diagnose errors in code developed with IBM® i Integrated Language Environment® (ILE) or Original Program Model (OPM) languages.

The debugger's client/server design makes it possible to debug applications running on IBM i while the debugger user interface is running in the workbench IDE on a Windows or Linux workstation.

When you start the debugger, you have the option of starting and debugging an application or debugging an existing job on the IBM i. When starting an application for debugging, a job is created on the IBM i for you.

The debugger client user interface allows you to control program execution. For example, you can run your program, set breakpoints, step through program instructions, examine variables, and examine the call stack. The debugger user interface lets you debug multiple applications, which may be written in different languages, from a single debugger window. Each session you debug is listed separately in the Debug view.
