There are many sites explaining how to do this.. but somehow i see them incomplete and not very userful. I followed some and had to do goo experimentation on things to get this one working. So this is how i went about
Problem:
I have a windows machine on which i have SQL developer. Now i need to debug a proc that resides over a solaris/ linux box (diffarent server)
Solution:
- Download the sql developer and create a connection
- open a procedure, right click and select compile to debug
- Right click on ur connection and select Remote Debug
- Give the port as 8001; IP: local ip (u can get in cmd window with ipconfig command). If you see a windows firewall dialog then shut down the firewall. in run > give services.msc > opens services> right click on 'Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)' and select stop.
- U will see the new debug connection under RunManager window below connections.
- Now login to the target DB-machine as someUser
- if it doestnt have debug previleges then login as sysdba and run the command: GRANT debug connect session, debug any procedure TO
; and then login as someUser - now run the command: exec DBMS_DEBUG_JDWP.CONNECT_TCP('ur ip',8001);This should complete with no errors.
- put a debug point in the sql developer (click on the left white column and u will see a red dot)
- now click on the lady bug and the debugging starts.
i am not sure how to do a remote debug when a java process calls this procedure. Any ideas... please share with me.
