How to debug "BIAL" scripting in Design Studio

[Former Member]

Hello Guru,

i'm newbie in BO Design Studio. i'm trying to build an application and want to use BIAL for event of my buttons. e.g if i click on the button, it should export to excel.  i found already the methode, that takes care of this. My question is, it is possible to debug the scripting codes also? if yes how to set the break points?

Hi Johnsons.

While there are no particular features to set "Breakpoints" in Design Studio, it is possible to simulate a similar scenario.

You can set debug points using the "APPLICATION.log()" method. Use this method inside any of the components' events and pass strings to acknowledge execution of events in the application's log window.

Since BIAL is an event-based interpreted script, using the APPLICATION.log(..) method at the end of your event script will ensure that the event is logged only after all of the code within that particular script window has been executed. These logs can be viewed in the "Error Log" window at Design Time.

(You can refer to an instance of this in the screenshots that I have attached.)
