Remote Debugging of a clickonce application

Hi,
i'm using Visual Studio 2012 and having vb.net projects. I'm still pretty new with vb.net at all. I want now establish remote debugging to a second system for a clickonce application.
I have tried to follow the MSDN remote debugging instructions without success and tried to combine it with information i read from different other sources although without success
1. Remote Debug Monitor is installed on the remote system and is running.
2. following setting are actually set in the project properties under the debug tab:
 "Start external program" is selected. The path to the clickonce application on the remotesystem is included
\\remotesystem\C:\Users\Test\desktop\clickonceapplication
Although "Use remote machine" is checked and the remotemsystem name is included. As "Working directory" i have set 'C:\Temp' as working directory.
3. 
The connection to the remote systems seems to work, the Remote Monitor log the access to it. But my system says in a msgbox "Visual Studio cannot debug because the debug target  '\\remotesystem\C:\Users\Test\desktop\clickonceapplication' is not
an exe file.
I would appreciate if someone could help me out and in best case describe step by step what to do.
Regards
Eugen

Thanks you for your quick replies so far.
@Jack:
I’ve tried what you mentioned. This are the project properties on my computer. There is only one Tab called ‘General’. I can't post pictures so I describe the properties:
Application
 => Executable: I've selected the path to the remote computer here \\remotesystem\desktop\clickonceapplication (desktop is shared). This path seems to be converted to a path with C:\USERS\Me\AppData\Local\Apps\2.0\...\ clickonceapplication.exe
Parameters
=> Argument: nothing
=> Attach: No
=> Connection: Remote with Windows authentication
=> Debugger Type: Mixed
=> Environment: Default
=> Machine: remotesystem
=>SQL Debug Engine: Yes
=> Working directory: c:\temp  Question: Is this on my computer or on the remote system? If on the remote system, has it to be a shared path?
By clicking Debug, Debug Monitor shows activity again but I get the following error message now:
Unable to start program
'C:\Users\Me\AppData\Local\Apps\2.0\... \ clickonceapplication.exe'
'c:\temp' is not a valid working directory
@ Pavel A
This change ends in the same error message as before:
"Visual Studio cannot debug because the debug target ' ‘C:\Users\Test\desktop\clickonceapplication' is not an exe file.

  • Remote debugging in sun one application server 8.1 options

    Hello Techies,
    I want to remote debug sun one application server 8.1
    I had followed remote debugging documentation on MyEclipse site. My sun one server is running under 8080 port. so I had done the modifications in domain.xml as follows
    debug-enabled="true" debug-options="-Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=8080"When i change this address to 8080, I am unable to start up the server. Can you guys tell me am i missing any thing ??
    Why I am unable to start up the server?? If i change the port no to 8000 I am able to start up the server.
    regards,
    Krishna

    And just to make an unfounded guess: do you have to specify the debug port or the request port there? If it's the former, it'll stand in its own way.

  • Problems using remote debugging for Web Dynpro applications

    Hello All,
      Have anyone ever encounter the above mentioned problem ? I am not able to step through my codes nor break @ my breakpoints using the debugging features despite many attempts following the tutorial on "Debuggng Web Dynpro applications". The problem always occur when I click on the Run -> Debug -> "Click on Debug". The debug perspective will show the threads running but my application window dows not appear. Should attempts  be made to "Terminate All" threads and relaunch my apllication again, I will get an error message   saying "Deployment of archive file already running : XXX.ear" Then I will need to wait some 15 mnutes or so before I can try again. Any suggestions ? Thank you.
    The status of my J2EE engine is as stated in the tutorial:
    1) State = "Debugging"
    2) Debug Mode = "On"
    3) Restricted Load Balancing = "Yes"
    4) Productive Use = "No"
      I have posted similar queries under "JDI" and "Web AS General" but did not receive and sugestions.

    Hi
    You should Create and Deploy if you want to reflect the code changes that you just did. However if you just want debug to an existing code then you need not Create and Deploy.
    This can also be done as a two step process where you first deploy from NDS and launch Debug without create and deploy.
    Is the issue that after you launch debug that it does not launch the application window.

    Hi,
    I am trying to remote debug a simple Java application (non-web) using Jdeveloper. The Jdev debugger can connect to the remote debuggee, but unfortunately it throws me a message saying: 'Unable to find source file'. As a result, if I ignore this message, it simply ignores my source breakpoints.
    Can anybody please help with any tips?
    My project source is checked out from CVS and does not follow a conventional source path as such.

  • Remote debug a Flash file running inside an application

    Hello everyone.
    I'm an application developer, and my standard usage of Flash is as follows:
    I'm creating an executable application, which contains a ShockwaveFlash object instance, which in turn is displaying a Flash Movie Clip - also created by myself. The executable application and the contained Flash clip are communicating via the ActionScript ExternalInterface (using XML strings) and the FSCommand.
    I'd like to be able to debug the ActionScript code of the Flash file while I'm running/debugging my executable application. For that, I need to be able to start a remote debugging session from the Flash object running inside my executable. Problem is, I did not find any way of doing this.
    When I publish the Flash SWF file with "permit debugging" checked, I'm able to start a remote debugging session when I'm displaying the file in a player or a browser (the "debugging" option is shown at the right-click menu of the Flash object), but I'm not able to do the same with the object inside my executable (the "debugging" option doesn't exist on the menu).
    Environment Details:
    The executable application is using the ShockwaveFlash COM file to create the ShockwaveFlash object.
    The executable application is created using VB.NET, Visual Studio 2008, .NET 3.5.
    The Flash SWF file is created using Adobe Flash Professional CS4.
    I'm developing under Windows XP (SP3).
    Any bits of information will be much appreciated!
    M.A. Hanin

    I'm not sure how to do specifically what you are looking for (if possible at all.....)
    But, I recommend checking out deMonsterDebugger.  It is an AIR application with some classes for use.  You simply import the classes into your Flash project, instantiate a debugger object, and then compile.
    If you open the AIR application when the SWF is running (locally, in a browser, and I imagine in another application) the AIR application serves as a debugging engine, similar to the in-Flash debugging.
    There is a bit more to it than that, but I think that this is your best bet for what you are looking for.

  • Problem with remote debuging web start application

    Hi,
    There is the J2EE application with desktop client (it uses JNLP). In production everything is all right, but when i'm debugging it using eclipse, application always throws SecurityException (class "oracle.retail.sim.closed.item.StockItem"'s signer information does not match signer information of other classes in the same package). This occurs only when class loader is trying to load this class). Somebody have any sugestion? Where is the problem?

    Hi,
      May be you can put an external breakpoint in the method "_get_attribute_rtti"(of class CL_WDR_CONTEXT_NODE_INFO).
    From that you can find out which attribute is causing the dump , and try to solve the issue . May be some data dictionary object is not transported to production.(Assuming that you have permission to put breakpoints in production system..:))

  • Remote Debugging Weblogic 92 application using Eclipse 3.4

    Hi,
    1. I have the below debug options in the startweblogic script.
    set JAVA_OPTIONS=-Xdebug -Xnoagent -Djava.compiler=NONE -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,address=javadebug,suspend=n
    2. I have configured remote debugging in Eclipse. Connection type - Standard Socket (attach), host =localhost, port 7001. 7001 is the listen port that I have specified in config.xml.
    3. When I run weblogic, I see the message listening for transport dt_socket address. Since address=javadebug, each time the dt_socket address is different.
    4. In Eclipse IDE, the debug prespective indicates the server has started. But when I click on the debug buttin in the Debug configuration dialog, I get the error below
    Failed to connect to remote VM. Connection timed out.
    org.eclipse.jdi.TimeoutException
    Note: Another thread in this forum mentions using the same port that is specified in the java_options but that did not work either. Any ideas what might be wrong?
    Thanks.
    RS.

    I think that value of "javadebug" is only used for shared memory transport, not socket transport. You have to choose a port that isn't being used by anything else. The value 8453 is a typical default value for this. Specify that instead of "javadebug", and use 8453 in your connection from Eclipse.

  • Remote Debugging w/9iAS  not working !

    I tried posting this in the app server area but apparently, it's too difficult for anyone to answer. No replies.
    We need to debug a deployed jsp that uses java beans.
    The jsp/java beans app is in jdevleoper 9.0.3.1 (windows 2000).
    I have deployed the application to Oracle 9ias java edition (9.0.3) on Red Hat Linux.
    I know how to modify the project settings in jdeveloper for remote debugging.
    when I start debug mode in jdeveloper I am prompted for the host name and port number for the remote debug session. What port do I use ?
    Do I need to do something to start 9ias at a certain port ? If so, how do I do this ?
    I have seen conflicting information on this that mainly refers to a standalone oc4j, not the oc4j in 9ias.

  • How to enable remote debugging for a session other than the current one

    Hi all,
    I am trying to figure out how to enable remote debugging for a session other than the one I am currently using.
    More specifically, we have an application that is making database calls to Oracle 11gR2. Something is causing an exception during this invocation. My system is currently not set up to recompile said application, so I can't just add the debug call to the code and recompile. Therefore I would like to be able to log into the database (as sys, if necessary) and invoke dbms_debug_jdwp.connect_tcp on the desired session.
    The docs indicate that I should be able to do so:
    dbms_debug_jdwp.connect_tcp(
    host IN VARCHAR2,
    port IN VARCHAR2,
    session_id IN PLS_INTEGER := NULL,
    session_serial IN PLS_INTEGER := NULL,
    debug_role IN VARCHAR2 := NULL,
    debug_role_pwd IN VARCHAR2 := NULL,
    option_flags IN PLS_INTEGER := 0,
    extensions_cmd_set IN PLS_INTEGER := 128);
    But when I try (even as sys), I get the following:
    exec dbms_debug_jdwp.connect_tcp('1.2.3.4',5678,<session id>,<session serial>);ORA-00022: invalid session ID; access denied
    ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_DEBUG_JDWP", line 68
    ORA-06512: at line 1
    00022. 00000 - "invalid session ID; access denied"
    *Cause:    Either the session specified does not exist or the caller
    does not have the privilege to access it.
    *Action:   Specify a valid session ID that you have privilege to access,
    that is either you own it or you have the CHANGE_USER privilege.
    I've tried granting the 'BECOME USER' privilege for the relevant users, but that didn't help. I read something about having to set some kind of ACL as of 11gR1, but the reference documentation was very confusing.
    Would someone be able to point me in the right direction? Is this even possible, or did I misread the documentation?

    Interesting deduction, that would be very useful indeed. I hate recompiling just to add the debug call, and it can't be done in our production environment. But it seems unlikely to me it would be implemented this way.
    I would cross-post this in the SQL AND PL/SQL forum though, as this is really a database issue, not with the SQL Developer tool. Do add the links to the other posts in each.

    K.

  • Cannot remote debug from JDev 10.1.3 on AS 10.1.2 running hotspot

    Hi,
    I've set up an embedded OC4J instance in an application server as described in the help topic, "Remote Debugging in OC4J" (with a few changes, such as the fact that I added startup options using the OC4J instance Admin page of EM, rather than at the command line (since the instance is embedded in a full AS). I followed the directions specifically for HotSpot, because that's the JVM the instance was set up to use, and I can't change it (I know OJVM enables lots more features, but that's the situation I'm in).
    I've also configured my project for remote debugging, ensuring the host name and port matches, and trying both "Attach to JDPA" and "Attach to OJVM" (these being the only two options, except for starting a listener, which I don't think will help with a web application).
    When I try to debug, though, I get:
    Debugger unable to connect to remote process.
    Should I be doing something differently?
    Thanks much,
    Avrom

    I had the delete key quit working after accidentally pressing a key sequent that included the delete key. I don't know what keys were involved, but the delete key from that point on did nothing.
    I am running JDeveloper 10.1.3.0.4 on Window XP.
    To resolve the problem, I set the keyboard Accelerators back to 'Default' in JDeveloper.
    I selected... Tools->Preferences->Accelerators
    then click on 'Load preset' then I chose 'Default'
    You may need to select something other than default for your platform, but that did the trick for me.

  • Remote Debug in eclipse

    Hello!
    I am new to eclipse...Can someone tell me how to use remote debug? I thought it is done by running "Debug..." after selecting the java file...Sorry for being so ignorant about this...I will really appreciate your help. Thank you.

    You do not have to have a main() method in the application. In fact you can have a breakpoint in any Java component. It just has to be in debugger's scope and it'll get visited.
    Example: Let's say you're rinning a Tomcat app. You can have a breakpoint inside a servlet's doGet() methof and when you invkoke the servlet from Firefox, Eclipse will pause the excution and will bring the debugger perspective up.
    From the article "Eclipse Debug window should automatically pop-up with the stack pointer on your first breakpoint (See Figure 3: Breakpoint hit in Eclipse's debugger). After that, you can use all the various functions that the debugger has to offer, namely variable assignments, step-into, drop to frame, etc."
    If you're not seeining anything, chances are that you're not executing that piece of code. Double check that and let me know.

  • Remote Debugging (Jdev 10.1.3 to AS 10.1.3)

    Hi,
    I have been trying to do a remote debugging by connecting Jdeveloper (version 10.1.3 production) to AS 10.1.3 mid-tier but the OC4J instance seems to be crashing the moment the jdeveloper makes the connection. However, before the crash, jdeveloper takes about 5minutes to connect to the server.
    The OC4J is managed by opmn and not a standalone process. I am not sure if this makes any difference. Here are the changes that I made in the 10.1.3 server:
    *) Modified opmn.xml to add the below:
    <data id="java-options" value="-server -verbose:gc -Xmx512M -Xms128M -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=43503 -XX:MaxPermSize=128M -XX:NewRatio=2 -XX:+PrintGCTimeStamps -XX:+UseTLAB -XX:ParallelGCThreads=2 -Djava.security.policy=$ORACLE_HOME/j2ee/oacore/config/java2.policy -Djava.awt.headless=true -Dhttp.webdir.enable=false"/>
    (also tried removing "-server" option)
    *) Modified orion-web.xml to add the below:
    <init-param>
    <param-name>debug_mode</param-name>
    <param-value>true</param-value>
    </init-param>

    <init-param>
    <param-name>jspjavacompiler</param-name>
    <param-value>oracle.jdevimpl.jsp.JspOjcCompiler</param-value>
    </init-param>
    *) Modified global-web-application.xml to add the below:
    <orion-web-app
    jsp-cache-directory="./persistence"
    servlet-webdir="/servlet"
    development="true" >
    I see the below message in the jdeveloper debug window when the OC4J instance crashes:
    Debuggee process virtual machine is Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM.
    Debuggee process is application server OC4J.
    To test JSPs or servlets, you must start a browser.
    Debugger disconnected from remote process.
    I do not see any error in application.log file.
    By setting up the remote debugging, I am hoping for a better portlet development experience.
    Any help is appreciated.

    The doc is kind of vague, but here's the root reference:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25221_04/core.1013/b15976/opmnxml.htm#sthref144
    There's a FAQ document that prescribes how the "restart" algorithm works, see 1.3:
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/ohs/htdocs/opmn-1013-faq.pdf
    So to tweak this behaviour, you specify a speciifc <ping> element inside of the opmn.xml for the managed process you are using -- and set the timeout, interval, retry attributes to some combination that gives you a longer pause time.

    Looking at the $ORACLE_HOME/opmn/conf/opmn.xsd file, it shows that only attributes are timeout and interval. You can't add a retry attribute. I'm not sure if this is a doc bug or an error in the XSD file.
    Anyways, using the timeout parameter, for your DEBUGGING phase (not production!) you should be able to bump that up to a higher value to allow OPMN to wait longer for a response from OC4J before it nukes it.
