    How to Set a Session Breakpoint in a Transformation Program

    Scenario
    You have coded individual transformation rules, and would like to confirm that the code is working as
    expected. One possible solution is to code a hard breakpoint. This however becomes a nuisance when
    you are processing many records, and you want to have the ability to continue beyond the breakpoint
    after you confirm the first few records.
    This document outlines an alternative approach; whereby, you set a session breakpoint in the generated
    transformation program, which can optionally be deleted during the debug session. Also, this eliminates
    the need to go back and update the code, to remove the hard breakpoint.

    5) Display the program, search for the line you want to set the breakpoint on, put the cursor on the
    line, and click the Stop Sign (w/ monitor) icon

    NOTE:
    Refresh RSA1 after setting the session breakpoint, as this will refresh the cache, and will ensure that the
    breakpoint will be active when running the DTP in debug mode.
