Remote Debugging with SQL-Developer (APEX)

Question

Hello all,
I have a problem with the Remote Debugging functionality in SQL Developer.
I want to debug a fuction that generate a SQL-Statement. This SQL is the basic of a report in APEX.
I grant the  privilege DEBUG CONNECT SESSION and DEBUG ANY PROCEDURE for the user.
This is the PL/SQL in the report region:
declare
  v_sql varchar2(32767);
begin
  dbms_debug_jdwp.connect_tcp('192.168.2.1', 4200);
  v_sql := generate_sql(:P1_TABLENAME);
  dbms_debug_jdwp.disconnect;
  return v_sql;
end;
When I run the page i get this error:
ora-30677: session is already connected to a debugger
But I can`t debug it in SQL-Developer.
Can you help me please?

Hi Scott,
Yes my call to this is in a on submit after computations and validations page process. Below is the code in which I get the insufficient privileges error:
BEGIN
  IF :DEBUG = 'YES' THEN
    dbms_debug_jdwp.connect_tcp('10.200.37.223',4000);
  END IF;
  species_upload.load_tsv_file(:APP_USER, :P302_SURVEY_BROWSE, 'survey');
  --null;
  IF :DEBUG = 'YES' THEN
    dbms_debug_jdwp.disconnect;
  END IF;
END; I tried running it in SQL workshop in Apex as
begin
   dbms_debug_jdwp.connect_tcp('10.200.37.223',4000);
end;and I still get the insufficient privileges error message.
My parsing schema is: SNHLIVE
And the APEX user is: APEX_PUBLIC_USER I got this by doing select USER from dual in the SQL Commands in APEX.
I have done the following:
grant DEBUG ANY PROCEDURE to SNHLIVE
grant DEBUG ANY PROCEDURE to APEX_PUBLIC_USER
grant DEBUG ANY PROCEDURE to ANONYMOUS
grant DEBUG CONNECT SESSION to SNHLIVE;
grant DEBUG CONNECT SESSION to APEX_PUBLIC_USER;
grant DEBUG CONNECT SESSION to ANONYMOUS
grant DEBUG on SNHLIVE.species_upload TO SNHLIVE;
grant DEBUG on SNHLIVE.species_upload TO APEX_PUBLIC_USER;
grant DEBUG on SNHLIVE.species_upload TO ANONYMOUS;What I followed was David's article: Link: [http://www.oracle.com/technology/oramag/oracle/08-may/o38browser.html?_template=/ocom/print]
Now i can get remote debugging work on the same database using SQL Plus and Java application but not in Apex.
Any ideas why?
Thanks in advance,
Paul.
