Tracing enables you to monitor and control the application
without having the IBM® Rational® Rhapsody® GUI
in the loop by providing a text-based, console-like application. However,
all tracing commands are also available in animation.
Using tracing, you can:
- Inspect and trace the status of the executing application:
- Inspect the application through show commands.
- Identify items to trace with trace commands.
- Set and remove breakpoints with break commands.
- Generate events or call operations with the GEN macro
or CALL command (CALL applies to IBM Rational Rhapsody Developer for C++ only).
- Return control to the Tracer for one or more steps
using the go commands.
The tracer:
- Advances execution according to the go commands
or until a breakpoint occurs.
- Displays messages describing what happens to traced
objects as the model executes.
