Debug

When using TCP/IP between the client and debug server, use ports starting at 25534.

Xlate Debugger server

After launching the Xlate Debugger for an xlt file, the Xlate Debugger server creates a PID file (pid_xltFileName) and a port file (cmd_port_xltFileName). These are created according to the xlate file under $HCISITEDIR/Xlate(UNIX) or %HCISITEDIR%\Xlate (Windows).

When the Debugger exits, the temp files are removed.

The GUI checks cmd_port_xltFileName before launching the Xlate Debugger. Only one debugger can be launched for a single xlt file.

Modes

Available modes are Configuration and Debug. You can switch between modes by clicking Switch Mode.

  • Switching from Configuration mode to Debug mode hides the Launch bar and Site Manager and displays the debug-related components.
  • Switching from Debug mode to Configuration mode restores the Launch Bar and Site Manager and hides the debug-related components.

Server Administration debug connection

The XLT Debug Traffic pane of the Host Server Advanced tab contains the Host Server routes traffic option. This is used to configure the XLT debug connection. When this is cleared, it is a direct connection. This option is disabled by default.

If there is a firewall between the client and server, then you must select Host Server routes traffic. Otherwise, the GUI attempts to open a port.
