  3. Create a new configuration that allows debugging.

  a. Click Manage and then click Create configuration. In
  the Create Configuration window, name the new configuration, such as "DAX
  Debugging". Click OK.
  b. On the Application Object
  Server tab, select Enable breakpoints to debug code X++ code running on this
  server. Click Apply.

  4. Click OK to close the configuration window. If you receive a message about the AOS, indicate that it should be restarted.
  5. Log in to the server that is running IIS and Enterprise Portal. If the system is remote, you can do this using Terminal Services. From the Start menu, click Run. Type the following in the Open box and click OK:

  Debugging an Element on a Web Page
  To debug an element on a Web page
  1. Log in to the server that is running Internet Information Services (IIS) and Enterprise Portal. If the system is remote, you can do this using Terminal Services. From the Start menu, click Run. Type the following in the Open box and click OK:
  mstsc /console
  This opens a console session in Terminal Services, and is necessary if you want to debug on a remote system.
  Important
  If you are debugging on a remote system, you must use console mode when connecting. Otherwise, debugging will not work.
  2. Open the Microsoft Dynamics AX client.
  3. Be sure that you are logged on as a user who is also one of the following:
  · The user who started the session of Microsoft Dynamics AX
  · The user who will set breakpoints in X++ code
  4. In the AOT, locate the element that you want to debug. Typically, you will debug data sets, classes, Web forms, reports, Web reports, or weblets.
  5. Set breakpoints in the X++ code by using the Code Editor. For more information, see X++ Code Editor.
  6. Open the debugger by clicking Tools, then clicking Development tools, and finally clicking Debugger. The Debugger must be open before you can run code that contains breakpoints.
  7. Open the Web page that includes the element that you want to debug. As the page is rendered, the Debugger should stop at the breakpoints that you set.
