Accessing ECMAP Debugger in Windows

Before you access ECMAP Debugger, modify these three variables in the mapdebug.bat batch file that was installed together with ECMAP Debugger for Windows:

JAVA_HOME – directory where JRE or JDK is installed.

Sybase recommends that you use Java 2 SDK version 1.5 or later.
ECRTP_HOME – directory where ECRTP shared library is installed.
MAPDEBUG_HOME – directory where ECMAP Debugger is installed.

You can access ECMAP Debugger in Windows in different ways:

Double-click the ECMAP Debugger icon on your desktop.
Select the ECMAP Debugger icon from the ECMAP folder in the program menu on your desktop.
Run the batch file installed in Windows: %MAPDEBUG_HOME%\bin\mapdebug.bat

where %MAPDEBUG_HOME% is the directory where ECMAP Debugger is installed.

WARNING! When you double-click the ECMAP Debugger icon or run mapdebugger.bat from a command prompt, a Command Prompt window opens first, followed by ECMAP Debugger.

Do not close the Command Prompt window while ECMAP Debugger is open. The Command Prompt window closes when you exit ECMAP Debugger.

The Command Prompt window displays messages as you perform actions in ECMAP Debugger. You can save these messages to a text file to help you to troubleshoot any problems with ECMAP Debugger, by using the redirection option in DOS when you start ECMAP Debugger. For example, to start ECMAP Debugger and save Command Prompt window messages to the console.txt file, enter:

%MAPDEBUG_HOME%\bin\mapdebug.bat > console.txt
