Preparing Your Application in Developer

Before you can connect to a test database on a host machine you must configure and build your application. In order for Debugger to access the deployed application database there are several configuration properties that you must set. Refer to the Agile Business Suite Developer User Guide for more information on setting configuration properties and generating systems.

Before Debugging an MCP system, the user must perform the following:

  1. In the Deploy folder configuration set the fields, Enable Host Database Access to True and the Port Number to 1871 (the default value).

  2. Deploy the MCP system to the MCP database using the MCP Builder Factory.

To enable Debugger to access the deployed MCP system database, perform the following:

  1. In the Developer, right-click the project in Class View or Solution Explorer and select Properties.

  2. Set the Debug Mode configuration property to the type of debug session you want to run.

  3. Specify other configuration properties as required.

  4. To enable Debugger to access the deployed test database, set the Enable Host Database Access to True and enter appropriate values for Host Name, Database Name, User Name, Password and Port Number.

    Note: If the value entered in the User Name field is different from the usercode under which the database is defined, specify the usercode in parenthesis along with the database name in the database field. Additionally, the Database Name field must also include the family name if the database control file resides on a pack that is not the default family for the usercode specified in the User Name field. For example, if “SAM” is the usercode used for a database “CUSTOMER” and the pack name is “MYPACK”, enter (SAM)CUSTOMER ON MYPACK in the Database Name field.

  5. Generate your system.
