CSS Remote Debug Launch Configuration

Steps necessary to remotely debug an application running on customers side:

1. Logon to CSS, choose either transaction STFK or go to the remote connection transaction via the OSS message of the customer.



2. Choose the appropriate installation listed for the customer.



3. A tree list of available systems for that installation is displayed. The appropriate system should have the status open. If not inform the customer that the connection needs to be opened. Double-click. A tree for this system is displayed.



4. Check JAVA DEBUG in the list of connections. This connection should then be marked with a green icon.



5. Check the appropriate application server from the list of application servers. This should be the cluster you wish to debug. The server should be marked with a green icon.



6. Open the "Customer contact person for services" tree. Look at the port number displayed after the contact person for the service JAVA DEBUG. This MUST be equal to the debug port of the remote application!



7. Click "Download" on the toolbar. The appropriate data will now be exported to a temporary file on ones frontend.



8. If necessary connect to remote engine via the HTTP Connect service of the CSS (eg. for stopping/starting applications etc.).



9. Switch to the SAP Netweaver Developer Studio. Choose Run->Debug... From there CSS Debug Session->New. This will display a new CSS Remote Debug configuration.



10. Choose the appropriate project from your list of projects (For J2EE applications choose the web project). This serves only as root for debugging source retrieval. On the Source Tab you can add as many projects as you like.



11. Choose the appropriate customer connection. When pressing Choose... all possible connections which have been saved previously from the CSS to the frontend will be displayed. Choose the appropriate one.
