Cache Studio : Error #6716: Target already in debug mode when attaching to a routine

Question

Question

Dean Kavicki · Nov 15, 2021

I often get this message when trying to attach to the routine second time. The only way I was able to fix this is by restarting the Cache server.

Then I can do debugging once, but second time, the error pops up again. Very annoying. Is there a way to fix that without restarting the server ?

Thank you

I have noticed that this particular explained behaviour happens if I, during the debugging, continue until the end of execution of the debugged code. But, if I stop the debbuger explicitely during the debugging, then it does not happen and I can attach next time again without a problem.

Since there seems that no one experiences this, I'm going to accept this a an acceptable reply so the issue can be closed

Hello,

Do you mean the 'Studio > Debug > Attach to process' option?

If yes, the process must end or you need to detach from it before attaching to another.

In my particular setup this usually means hitting the stop button while I'm over a break or interrupt point because otherwise caché kills the job and I have problems.

I'm not an expert in these concerns. I may be wrong in some point.

Thanks Arturo, yes I meant Studio > Debug > Attach to process' option

And yes, I did hit the stop button but nevertheless, next time I want to attach I get this message about Target already in debug mode.

So, I'm looking at an easier way to find and kill this debug process instead of restarting the server
