Enabling the Browser Side Debugging Feature on the Web Client

In past releases, a user working on a form in the web client could press the Ctrl+D keys to display GUI elements at the bottom of the page that are used for browser side debugging. Starting with release 8.96, this feature is disabled in the default mode, and the web client no longer displays this debugging feature when Ctrl+D is pressed. To enable this feature for developers and support personnel, the system administrator must modify the JDEDTA.js file as described in this task.

To enable the browser side debugging feature:

1. On the HTML Server, navigate to the webclient.war/js/ directory, and open the JDEDTA.js file in a text editor.

2. Search for the following line:

   var allowDebug=false;

   and change the value to true.

3. Save the file.

   You do not need to restart the server to activate the change.

4. Open the browser, and press the Refresh button to reload the page.

   This action refreshes the .js files cached in the browser to activate the Ctrl-D feature.
