Hello When using the function “test” proposed by Service Repository Explorer, what is the right method do debug services ? Thanks for the help. Bernard ---

Hello, If you mean using the Natural debugger, currently this isn’t possible because the call to the service runs via the NDV middleware and there isn’t a Natural program you can use to start the debugger. In the future, you will be able to debug services via Natural and the generation of a Natural client. The best alternative today is to use the NDV trace facility to write out debugging statements to the trace log. For more information, see the section entitled “Operating the Natural Development Server” in the NDV documentation. Best Regards, Mark Barnard R&D ---
