Configuring the Run/Debug Mode

You can define the behavior of processes when they are run or debugged in the X4 Designer.

1. Select menu Tools > Options.

2. On the left side double-click X4 Designer, and select Run/Debug to open the configuration.
   

   

3. Make the required settings:

   • Enable debug steps delay: Define the delay (in milliseconds) between each run process step in debug mode.
     The delay is only applied, if the process execution is continued via Resume.

   • Debug Stepping Mode: Default appearance of debugged process steps:

     • Step Over: Execute steps and debug each sub-process as one step 

     • Step Into: Execute steps, jump into sub-processes, and display each sub-process action in debug mode

   • Break on Entry (Main Process only): Stop debugging after executing the first process action

   • Save automatically on debug: Save the process automatically before debugging

   • Save automatically on run: Save the process automatically before running
     

   • When starting another debug session: The debugger's bahaviour when another debugging session is already active:

     • Always abort active debug session: The active debugging session will be aborted, and a new debugging session will start immediately.

     • Never abort active debug session: The active debugging session will never be aborted when trying to start another session (the active session must be aborted manually by the user).

     • Always prompt: When starting debug mode you will be prompted to abort.
       

       

       The debugging can always be restarted via the F4 key.

4. Click Apply and Close to save the configuration and close the window.
