Neoxam: Tools

This page is a work in progress.

Neoxam comes with many built-in tools to aide in development and troubleshooting. I will cover some of the key tools below.

SQL Window
This window allows a user to execute SQL commands against the Neoxam database. I would recommend disabling access to this window via configuration settings since the commands execute as the application id. Instead, I recommend accessing the database via a tool such as SQL Developer. This way you have more granular control over the permissions granted to individual users. You will still need some administrative users to have elevated privileges in order to clean up data and tables.


Evaluator
This window allows a user to execute scripts written in the Neoxam scripting language. These scripts can be used to stage or clean up test data, debug a scheduled task job, and test out code snippets. Using the debugger with the evaluator is very helpful when tracing an error.

Debugger 
After opening the debugger, you have to enable it in the right side bar. You can set breakpoints by double-clicking on the left margin of the line you would like to place it on. You can also enable and disable breakpoints via the checkboxes found in the right side bar (you will only see them if you have one or more breakpoints set).
