Running a Debug Session › Configure and Start a Debug Session

Configure and Start a Debug Session

You must start a debug session in the Diagram Trace Utility before you can trace an application.

Follow these steps:

1. Click Start, All Programs, CA, Gen xx, and select Diagram Trace Utility.

   The Diagram Trace Utility main window opens.

   Note: If you have not changed the default configuration, the Diagram Trace Utility automatically starts a debug session when you start the software. If you have changed the default configuration, you must start the debug session manually.

   If you are using the default port number (4567) and you need to start the debug session manually, move to Step 4. To add or change a port number or change the pre-start Diagram Trace Utility preference, perform the tasks in Step 2 and Step 3.

2. Click Windows, Preferences.

   The Preferences dialog opens.

3. Change the value of the Listen on Ports field and click OK.

   Note: You can type multiple port numbers, separated by spaces.

   The Diagram Trace Utility saves the changes and closes the Preferences dialog.

4. Click Diagram Trace, Start if you have changed the default configuration and need to start the utility manually.

   A listener thread starts for each port number configured and each configured thread is listed in the Debug view.

   Note: You can use the Windows netstat -a command to display a list of TCP/IP ports currently in use on the machine hosting the Diagram Trace Utility. Reviewing this list of active ports helps you resolve conflicts with port numbers that are already in use.
