Getting Started with Code Debug

This space provides instructions for how to use Code Debug to debug mainframe applications within an Eclipse-based workbench (for example, Workbench for Eclipse, Eclipse, or RDz). To become acquainted with Eclipse-based frameworks, refer to the BMC-AMI-DevX-Workbench-for-Eclipse-User-Guide.

To use the features of Code Debug, the Host Explorer feature must also be installed. For Workbench for Eclipse users, the Host Explorer is included with the kit and is installed accordingly. For Eclipse/RDz users, the Host Explorer is installed separately.

Important

To use Code Debug, you must define an HCI connection and connect Workbench for Eclipse or Eclipse/RDz to a mainframe system. Connections are defined within the Preferences dialog box, which is available from the Window menu by selecting Preferences> BMC>Host Explorer>Host Connections. A Host Communication Interface (HCI) connection between the mainframe host and Workbench for Eclipse should have already been established during the installation and configuration of Workbench for Eclipse. Contact your system administrator to obtain specific connection credentials for your site for establishing Host Connections. (For system administrators, refer to the appropriate installation guide for further information on installing and configuring the HCI.)
