NAV2009 Debugger files on client computer?

I got this site from a Microsoft blog about debugging in NAV2009 RTC:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd301071.aspx

The walkthrough seems to only allow the debugging to be run on the server that has the service running.

If I'm working in a client/server environment, how do I get the C# files on the client computer so I can debug from the client computer without taking extra resources from the server?

    you can extract the c# files yourself from Object Metadata from "user code" blob field. When attaching the service, you'll need to connect to the computer where the service tier is running and select the NAV service.

    If you want to debug - you need to be on the Service Tier - you can get the C# files to view as mentioned - but debugging is on the service tier AND REMEMBER, when you debug a servicetier - you will debug ALL users using that service tier.

    You could just copy the service tier directory from the server to your local machine (in effect setup a new service tier with one user) and debug that.

    Interesting, thanks for the tip. Haven't thought about setting up a service tier on the local machine.

    However, this seems very excessive just to debug in RTC, doesn't it? If we're in the client environment and the user only has one granule 9100 -Dynamics NAV Server, would this cause a permission problem?

    Or use the remote debugger, attach to the Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Server.exe and open the source files through the network. The root is "\\yourServiceMachine\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\60\Server\MicrosoftDynamicsNavServer\source"

    That's a good idea. Thanks for the tip!

    Just have in mind that if you are attached to the process, other users are unable to connect, I don't know why, but a huge error message appears :)

    you're welcome ;)
