Debugging with the JVM console

You can use the Rational® Integration Tester JVM console to debug any errors that might occur while you are working with Rational® Integration Tester.

Accessing the JVM console from the GUI

If the Rational® Integration Tester GUI is running, to open the JVM Console, click Help > About > JVM Console.

Accessing the JVM console from the command line

Open a command window and navigate to the Rational® Integration Tester installation folder.
Run the IntegrationTester -console command. The Java console is opened.

Accessing the JVM console through HTTP

Open the Library Manger. In the JVM Arguments field of the Application pane, add the following line: -Dgreenhat.http.port=8999
Note: If port 8999 is already in use, specify a different port number.
Open the IntegrationTester.ini file that is available in the installation folder.
After the -vm parameter value line, add the following entries:
```
-consoleLog
 -debug
```
Note: The Java console window is displayed when Rational® Integration Tester is started and is closed when Rational® Integration Tester is closed.
To view the Java console, open a browser and specify the following URL: http://localhost:8999/ConsoleOutput? in a browser.
