    このタスクについて

    Breakpoints belong to the developer who sets them. Developers must set and remove their own breakpoints.
    注:
    At a specific line, you can set either a logpoint or breakpoint but not both.

    手順

    1. Navigate to the server script to debug.
      For example, navigate to All > System Definition > Business Rules.
    2. From the Syntax Editor, click the gutter next to a script line.

      Remove a breakpoint Click a breakpoint to remove it.
      Remove a conditional breakpoint Right-click a conditional breakpoint and select Remove breakpoint to remove it.
    3. From the Syntax Editor toolbar, click the Open Script Debugger icon.
      The system opens a Script Debugger window.
    4. Trigger the script.
      For example, create a record to trigger an insert business rule script.
      The Script Debugger pauses the script on the first line containing a breakpoint, and the system displays a confirmation window.
