Debugging for a Two-Tier Connection

Debugging in two-tier connections involves connecting directly to the database, not through the application server. Use this method to debug two-tier Windows applications.

Note:

By default, the port number that the PeopleCode debugger uses is 9500. Unless this port number is being used by another application, you do not need to alter any environment settings, and after you sign on to the database, you are able to debug PeopleCode.

If you need to change the PeopleCode Debugger port settings, complete the following procedure.

To change the default PSDBGSRV listener port number:

  1. Open PeopleSoft Configuration Manager.

  2. Select the Trace tab.

  3. Locate the PeopleCode Debugger section, and make sure that the default value for the Local PSDBGSRV Listener Port is suitable for the system.

    For example, make sure that no other applications are configured to listen on the default port number (9500). If so, you must assign a port number that is not being used.

Note:

If you're using a personal firewall, you must configure it to enable data packets to flow through the PSDBGSRV listener port. If you can't configure your firewall appropriately, you must shut it down while performing PeopleCode debugging.
