Note:
- The following applies to native code only.
- If debugging a program or a process on a remote UNIX machine, ensure that the remote machine has an X Window implementation
installed and running before you start debugging. This ensures that the output of the remote program can be viewed on your
local machine.
To attach the
Micro Focus Native Debugger to a 32-bit or 64-bit process running on a remote machine:
- In Visual Studio on your local machine, click
Debug >
Attach to Process.
- In the
Transport field, specify
Micro Focus transport.
- In the
Qualifier field, specify the following:
machine:port[:32|64]
Where:
- machine
- The name, or the IPv4 or IPv6 address of the remote machine. IPv6 addresses must be enclosed by square brackets - for exampke,
[address].
- port
- The port number on the remote machine that the cobdebugremote or cobdebugremote64 process is using.
- 32|64
- Optional. Indicates whether to attach to a 32-bit or 64-bit remote process. If this parameter is not specified, the default
is 64-bit.
- Click
Refresh for Visual Studio to find the processes running on the remote machine.
- Select the process to debug from the list.
- Click
Attach.
The debugger attaches to the process, but will not break execution until the process hits a breakpoint, an error occurs, or
you press the break button.
