Remote Debugging

The Net Express animserv utility used for debugging programs remotely has been replaced by cobdebugremote (or cobdebugremote64 when debugging 64-bit processes) in Visual COBOL.

To debug locally-developed programs on a remote machine you must start cobdebugremote (or cobdebugremote64 when debugging 64-bit processes) before communication can be established. See the Visual COBOL help for more information on cobdebugremote.

For more information, see the section on Remote Debugging in your Visual COBOL for Visual Studio 2017 product help.
