Monitoring the Debug Log

When the Debugger initializes, the Integration Service begins writing the debug log in the Debugger tab of the Output window. The Integration Service writes the following types of messages to the debug log:

Session initialization

Acknowledge user request

The Integration Service encounters a break

Debug errors

Debugger status

Session stops

When the bottom line in the Output window reads that the Integration Service is ready, you know the Debugger is paused. The Integration Service remains paused until you issue a command, such as Continue, Step to Next, or Stop.

If the Debugger does not start or if it abruptly stops, and the Integration Service does not write any message to the Output window, you can look in the Administration Console Domain page for more information.

The following table shows samples of debug log messages in the Output window:
