Re: Coee Coverage wtih object and source on different systems

[Alan Cassidy <cfuture@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks a lot, Edmund.

I thought I had remembered an "in-house" presentation by someone from 
work here that showed remote Code Coverage, so my memory now stands 
corrected.

There are rules here, so I'll now have to see if I can copy enough data 
to the Development box to do this with, or try to make do with regular 
debug, but it's not very clear at all in the program I'm working on.

CCA uses some core components in STRDBG to drive a low level debug session. The CCA layer does not have network communication capability. It does not have a way to retrieve source on a different system
