AssemblyLine Debugger
Step through AL execution
- component by component
- Hook by Hook
View and change data interactively
- Attributes
- script variables
- configuration settings & properties

Interactively step through ALs
The first component (Iterator Connector) reads
a row from the SQL database.

Interactively step through ALs
Selected attributes are mapped into the flow,
moving from the local conn “bucket”
to the work entry (Input Map).

The work entry moves to the next component
(Lookup LDAP Connector) which
reads data from the connected
directory.

More attributes are mapped from the local
conn cache to the work entry
(Input Map).

Interactively step through ALs
Now the work entry is passed to the last
component (AddOnly File Connector)
and selected attributes are mapped
out (Output Map).

Finally, the output operation is performed. The
work entry is passed back to the first
component, emptied and the cycle
repeats.

AssemblyLine Debugger
Interactively run any AL
- supports older versions (e.g. TDI 6.0, 5.2, ...)
- does not work with EventHandlers
Evaluate (execute) script at any time
Set up Watch lists to view data as it flows
Control when the AL stops => breakpoints
- right-click and choose “run and break here”
(temporary BP)
- select Hooks/components (permanent BP)
- add script to a breakpoint (conditional BP)

Additional lessons
Migrate EventHandlers to Connectors
Server Mode Connectors
- Replace EventHandlers that listen for connections
- Are supported in the Debugger
Control when components initialize
- leverage Global Connector Pooling
Map Attributes using TDI Expressions
AL Branch now comes in 3 flavors:
- IF
- ELSE IF
- ELSE
