Setting Breakpoints

After TotalView is running, start the poe process using the Process > Go command.

CLI: dfocus p dgo

A dialog box launches in the GUI —in the CLI, it prints a question—to determine if you want to stop the parallel tasks.

If you want to set breakpoints in your code before they begin executing, answer Yes. TotalView initially stops the parallel tasks, which also allows you to set breakpoints. You can now set breakpoints and control parallel tasks in the same way as any process controlled by TotalView.

If you have already set and saved breakpoints with the Action Point > Save All command, and you want to reload the file, answer No. After TotalView loads these saved breakpoints, the parallel tasks begin executing.

CLI: dactions –save filename dactions –load filename
