exploreengage elevate The Support Debugging Tool can be used for many purposes. For example: It can help you identify the specific series of events which lead up to an issue or bug in the code are occurring. It can be used to quickly and simply turn on all logging and profiling capabilities without restarting the application. This can be useful when looking at performance problems. It can be used to find details about dictionary resources and other security objects. It can be used to identify resources (forms, reports and tables) causing security access issues. It can be used to enable and disable third party products or change the order of the products in the launch file. It can be used to export data from and import to any table. It can be used to run SQL or Dexterity scripts without needing Dexterity or SQL Administration Tools installed. It can be used to capture and or save screenshots of all open windows and a system status report. It can be used to send to the system administrator, even on systems without a locally installed Outlook client. It can assist in resolving issues with reports using Report Writer (RW) user defined functions. It can roll out Dex.ini setting changes to all workstation in a system.
