Attach the Graphical Debugger to a mobile process

Complete this procedure to attach the Graphical Debugger to a running mobile process.

Before you begin:

  • Genero Studio is set to use a mobile configuration.
  • The mobile application was packaged and deployed with the Mobile Debug Package environment set selected.

    Figure: Genero Configuration Management dialog



    See Create a debug version of a deployed app.

  1. Run the debug version of your deployed app.
  2. Select Debug > Attach to Mobile Process.
    This option uses your current configuration to connect to the mobile device.
  3. Navigate to the directory that contains the source files for your application and select the appropriate source (.4gl) file, then click Open.
    The source file opens. You are now in a standard debug session.

With the debug session open, follow the procedures for using the Graphical Debugger.
