Debug code with dbx debugger For more information, see Chapter 7, Debugging Your Application.
Profile your code with profiling tools that integrate Oracle Solaris Studio analysis tools:
Run Monitor tools uses Performance Analyzer's data collection.
Memory Analysis tool uses discover's dynamic memory checking. For more information, see Running Memory Access Checking on Your Project.
Static Code Checking uses Code Analyzer's static error data collection. For more information, see Using Static Code Error Checking.

Run the IDE locally while Oracle Solaris Studio compilers and tools installed on a remote server using remote development For more information, see Doing Remote Development.
Create a special distribution of the IDE while it's running on your remote build server with remote desktop distribution.
