<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To debug a computer program on a distributed computer system. <P>SOLUTION: Upon receiving a debug command which sets a breakpoint in a server program 150-1 to be executed at a server node A100-1, a first debug agent 156-5 at a client node 100-5 adds the debug command to a packet generated by a client program 150-5 and sends the packet to a server node A. A second debug agent 156-1 removes the debug command from the packet, sets a requested breakpoint in the server program, and then transfers the packet to the server program. When the execution of the server program reaches the breakpoint, the second debug agent halts the execution of the server program and sends the state of the server program to the first debug agent. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
