Debugging Host Application Models

The Design Tool provides several ways to test and debug host application models. Use the options on the Debug menu to confirm that your model is operating as you expect and is ready to deploy. The session monitor and log monitor are troubleshooting and debugging utilities that you can run outside of the Design Tool.

Before You Deploy Your Model

Here are some additional ideas for validating that your model will work as you expect and will be easy to maintain.

Use offline mode to move to each entity you have created and use the operations tab to review each operation.

• Confirm that your naming conventions are consistent with the operation performed. Are your constant values correctly spelled and specified? Review the Modeling Tips.
• Remove checkOperationConditions commands unless there is an actual condition to check. Removing any extra checks of this sort will improve model performance.
• Make sure all constant values use TransmitToAttr (as opposed to DefaultValue) when an attribute is available.
• Delete any unneeded entities, attributes, and operations. You may have extraneous commands that were inadvertently included when you were in Record mode.
• Some setting preferences for a model when tested in the Design Tool may not be the same when it is deployed on the Host Integrator Server. Check the setting for Apply default value to server.
