Debug modules

Broadcast debug information helps to find the root cause of a problem when Broadcast fails.

Broadcast debug can be broken into three main modules:

BcoComp.
BQM and BQM_Alr.
WYSIWYG Editor.

Debug information:

  • Is generated separately for each object.
  • Can be turned on or off, even when the project is running.

Turn debug information on and off

A file named debugbco.txt is generated in the C:\TEMP directory.

If debugbco.txt is not available, create an empty file.

The process to turn debug information on and off is as follows.

Procedure

  1. Add the following statements to debugbco.txt.

    DEBUG_BCO=<n>

    DEBUG_BQM=<n>

    DEBUG_BQMA=<n>

    DEBUG_EDITOR=<n>

    Where

    <n> does the following:

    <n> is Result
    1 Turns debug on. The statements are: DEBUG_BCO=1 DEBUG_BQM=1 DEBUG_BQMA=1 DEBUG_EDITOR=1
    0 Turns debug off. The statements are: DEBUG_BCO=0 DEBUG_BQM=0 DEBUG_BQMA=0 DEBUG_EDITOR=0

    Note: Debug information for Editor is available in CIMPLICITY version 6.1 SP3 and higher.

  2. Save debugbco.txt.

Results

Whether or not debug information is generated will depend on the statement values.

guide: Guidelines
  • There should not be any blank spaces in the file.
  • Sequence is not important.
  • Debug is not case sensitive.
