Setting up your developer tools for remote hosting of the connector code

As a developer, you can remotely debug the connector code to resolve issues or add custom code. If multiple users debug the same code, the changes are merged and saved. You can use your own developer tools like IntelliJ, VS Code, and Eclipse to remotely debug the code. However, you must configure your developer tool to access the connector code remotely. 

To enable remote hosting on IntelliJ

1. Download the latest version of Intellij Ultimate on your system. To download IntelliJ, see the  Jetbrains  site. 

2. Start IntelliJ and navigate to Files > Setting.
3. Select Build, Execution, Deployment, and select Deployment.
   

4. To add a new configuration, click + and enter the following values on the Connection page:

   Authentication	Password of the user to access the remote system.

5. Click Test Connection.
6. On the Mapping tab, add the deployment path with /.
7. Click Apply, and then Save.
   You can now edit the files on the remote host. 
8. To update your changes on the remote system, click UPLOAD CURRENT REMOTE FILE.
9. Verify that the changes have been updated on the remote system.

Repeat the procedure for all host systems from where the code can be debugged.

To enable remote hosting on VS Code
