Setting a Breakpoint Filter

Set a breakpoint filter to restrict its use to specified machines, processes, and threads.

Breakpoint filters can be useful when you are debugging a parallel application that is spread across multiple processors.
  1. Open the Breakpoint Filters dialog box:
    • In the Breakpoints window, right-click a breakpoint and select Filter.
    • In the Script window or Call Stack window, right-click a breakpoint and select Breakpoint > Filter.
  2. Specify machines, processes, or threads for which to enable the breakpoint. Specify machines by name and processes, and threads by either name or ID number.
  3. Click OK.
