Walkthrough: Debugging a Batch that Runs on the AOS

Explains how to debug a batch task that is running on the server, by using the Microsoft Dynamics AX debugger that is running on your client computer.

Use this debugger to debug X++ code that is running on the following:

  • Microsoft Dynamics AX Business Connector

  • AOS

  • Microsoft Dynamics AX Client

Debugging X++ code in the Business Connector is similar to debugging code that is running on the client. The only difference between debugging on the Business Connector and debugging on the client is that the Business Connector has no client window. The client must be used to set the initial breakpoints.

NoteNote

All the information that is shown in the debugger is retrieved directly from the client or the Business Connector. The debugger has no connection to the database, the application, or AOS.
