Debug View Artifacts and States

The following debug artifacts are displayed in the Debug view:

The Diagram Trace Server
At least one Listener process (default port is 4567)
One or more Connections
Stack Frames

These artifacts are displayed in a tree structure that follows the following conventions:

The Diagram Trace Server is the root element
Listener processes are children of the Diagram Trace Server
Connections are children of a Listener process
Stack Frames are children of a Connection
All artifacts except Stack Frames can contain children

Artifacts in the Debug view can be in different states. You can change the state of an artifact using the enabled commands for that artifact as described in the following table:

Artifact	States	Commands
Diagram Trace Server	Executing, Terminated	The Disconnect and Terminate commands change the state of the executing artifact to Terminated and removes the artifact.
Listener Process	Executing, Disconnected	The Disconnect command changes the state of the executing artifact to Disconnected and removes the artifact.
Connection	Running, Suspended	The Suspend command changes the state of a running connection to Suspended. The notation <Suspended> appears to the right of the artifact's name stating the location in the PAD code that execution is suspended. The Resume command changes the state to Running. The notation <Running> appears to the right of the artifact's name. The Disconnect command removes this artifact and its children from the Debug view.
Stack Frame	Suspended	The Suspend command changes the state of an executing artifact to Suspended. The Resume command resumes execution of the Stack Frame.
