Visual LANSA Forum

Does anyone have tips or tricks on how to get debug to work in VL IDE when running via remote desktop(not sure that really matters)? I have it running on my PC, but I am setting up a system on a remote PC which we use for consultants to access the system. Debug in the LANSA Settings says the Debug service is started and running with port 51234. I've restarted it numerous times. I've opened the port on the Windows firewall as I saw in the doc that if the program runs, but doesn't stop at the first line or breakpoints, that might be the issue.

Any tips, tricks or help would be greatly appreciated.

Are your components compiled with debug on this system? Is this VL-WIN or WEB?

There's a whole list of things that have to be right. If the remote desktop is on a different lan then the IBM i (if using client/server) you need a port open on the router/firewall, etc.

Send more details.

An update just to close out this issue. We are still on V14 with no EPCs or SPs so the issue was we had to have LANSA V10 on the remote PC. Once we had this machine setup, DEBUG worked fine. So, it would seem running via Remote Desktop was not related to our issue.

Thanks Art for your help,
