Setting preferences for the EGL debugger

To set preferences for the EGL debugger,...

1. Click Window > Preferences.

2. When a list is displayed, expand EGL and click Debug.

3. Clear or select the check box labeled Prompt for SQL user ID and password when needed.

   For details on your choice, see EGL debugger.

4. Clear or select the check box labeled Set systemType to DEBUG.

   For details on your choice, see EGL debugger.

5. Set the initial values for sysVar.terminalID, sysVar.sessionID, and sysVar.userID. If you do not specify values, each defaults to your user ID on Windows 2000/NT/XP or Linux.

6. Set the EGL Debugger Port value. The default is 8345.

7. To specify external Java classes for use when the debugger runs, modify the class path. You might need extra classes, for example, to support MQSeries, JDBC drivers, or Java access functions.

   The class path additions are not visible to the WebSphere Application Server test environment; but you can add to that environment's classpath by working on the Environment tab of the server configuration.

   Use the buttons to the right of the Class Path Order box:

   • To add a project, JAR file, directory, or variable, click the appropriate button: Add Project, Add JARs, Add Directory, or Add Variable.

   • To remove an entry, select it and click Remove.

   • To move an entry in a list of two or more entries, select the entry and click Move Up or Move Down.

8. To restore the default settings, click Restore Defaults.

9. To save your changes, click Apply or (if you are finished setting preferences) click OK.
