Setting Preference for Load Modules to be Loaded for Debug Sessions

A preference setting allows users to determine which load modules will be loaded upon launch of a debug session. This setting is used each time a new Xpediter debug configuration is created. Breakpoints associated with the selected load modules will be intercepted. Breakpoints outside of those load modules will not be loaded unless other actions are taken, such as loading the module via the context menu in the Breakpoints view.

To set the default preference for loading modules related to breakpoints

1. From the Window menu, select Preferences. The Preferences dialog box appears.
2. Toggle open the Compuware node and select Xpediter. The Xpediter preferences page appears.
3. Under Breakpoints, select the Retain breakpoints set during a debug session check box.

4. Select one of the following radio buttons to dictate which modules will be loaded upon launch of a debug session:

   • Load all modules: This default option loads all modules into memory that have associated enabled breakpoints upon session start. A status message detailing whether a module was successfully loaded into memory appears in the Console view. If a module could not be loaded, the breakpoints within that module are skipped.

   • Load the main module only: This option only loads the main module into memory at session start. Enabled breakpoints within the main module are set. All other breakpoints are skipped.

   • Specify the modules to load: This option provides a checklist of modules that currently have associated enabled breakpoints. All enabled breakpoints within the checked modules are set at session start. All other breakpoints are ignored. Note that the main module is always be loaded into memory regardless of whether it is displayed or checked.

     Important

     The "main" load module is always loaded.

5. Click OK.
