Note: At a specific line, you can set either a logpoint or breakpoint but not both.

Procedure

Navigate to the server script to debug. For example, navigate to System Definition > Business Rules.

From the Syntax Editor, click the gutter next to a script line.

Action	Description

Remove a logpoint	Right-click a logpoint and select Remove logpoint to remove it.
Edit a logpoint	Right-click a logpoint and select Edit logpoint to edit it.

Note: The script entered for the logpoint must have the same format as that of the script in GSLog and GSInfo script includes.
