Editing service and request entries while debugging

Besides specifying the service and task details for the debugging from the Perform Debugging dialog box, you can also examine and edit the service properties to supply the config and submit values from the Create Service or Create Request windows.

The properties section shows a listing of service properties implemented for the service template. It shows the Display Name, Key Name, Value, Description and Scope.

Before proceeding to the debugger interface, you often must first specify the values that normally are supplied by the Modify and Submit users when running a service. The following messages indicate that you must supply values for the specified properties before continuing with the debugging session:

Information is not complete. Please edit properties from [Create Service Window]

Information is not complete. Please edit properties from [Create Request Window]

To edit the properties from either the Create Service or Create Request windows, follow these steps:

1. From the Properties section of the Perform Debugging dialog box, click Edit.
2. Choose From Create Service Window or From Create Request Window depending on which interface you want to edit.
3. Click the category of settings (marked in red and with a warning (!) icon) and enter the missing values for all fields that are marked with a red asterisk (*), until the section turns blue indicating that all required fields have been filled in. Then click OK.
4. After specifying the service and task details for the debug session, and supplying any of the required values for the properties, click OK to access the debugger interface where you can begin debugging the service template.

While editing the service properties, you can also click Import to restore properties from a previous debugging session or Export to save the properties from the current session. In some cases, you might want to use this import capability to save time by loading all of the property values at one time, or possibly to restore property values that you previously exported. You can also click Restore Default to restore all default values.
