Starting the debugger and connecting to the database

The debugger is the JAR file Debug.jar, installed in your Adaptive Server installation directory in $SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/debugger. If it is not already present, add this file as the first element to your CLASSPATH environment variable.

Debug.jar contains many classes. To start the debugger you invoke the sybase.vm.Debug class, which has a main( ) method.You can start the debugger in three ways:

• Run the jdebug script located in $SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/debugger.

  “A debugging tutorial” provides a sample debugging session using the jdebug script.

• From the command line, enter:

  java sybase.vm.Debug
  

  In the Connect window, enter a URL, user login name, and password to connect to the database.

• From Sybase Central:

  1. Start Sybase Central and open the Utilities folder, under Adaptive Server Enterprise.

  2. Double-click the Java debugger icon in the right panel.

  3. In the Connect window, enter a URL, user login name, and password to connect to the database.
