Thread: Debugging a Service in Symphony DE

Some questions have been ask in regard to what tools are available in Symphony DE to help application developers debug a service.

Please refer to my forum entry: Re-run your Symphony DE service in a debugger. Included are steps and screenshots on how to use the "Service Replay Debugging" feature. This tool allows developers to re-run the service under the same execution environment in a Debugger. It is useful for both unit testing, as well as debugging unexpected service errors.



Documentation is also available in the Debugging a Service chapter of the Symphony Development Guide. Included are detailed feature descriptions and flow charts.

It's just a thumbnail, linking to the document itself.

Flow charts enlarged, click to view reference document.

The example in the blog is for Windows ... I assume Linux is quite similar ?

Yes, only difference is that you source the .profile or .cshrc script instead of executing the .bat file, before launching the debugger of your choice.

Can you also provide a link at the bottom of the thumbnail for those of us that don't recognize that your chart is a thumbnail?

We're not launching a space shuttle here where everything needs to be precise

I think our community members are quite smart and net savy.

Don't be so sure about that, I mean the smart and savy part Always nice to have everything clearly labeled. Some people like me are too lazy to guess at what things are

I've uploaded a video onto SymphonyDE's Youtube Channel. It demonstrates step-by-step on using the Service Event Replay Debugger feature on Linux.

After executing SampleAppCPP, SampleServiceCPP is re-run in GDB.
