Totalview® User Guide : PART II Debugging Tools and Tasks : Chapter 5 Loading and Managing Sessions
Chapter 5 Loading and Managing Sessions
This chapter discusses how to set up a TotalView session, based on some of the most-used setup commands and procedures.
There are two primary ways to load programs into TotalView for debugging: the GUI via the Sessions Manager (Loading Programs from the Sessions Manager) or the CLI (Loading Programs Using the CLI) using its various commands. Both support all debugging session types.
For information on setting up remote debugging, see "Setting Up Remote Debugging Sessions".
For information on setting up parallel debugging sessions, see "Setting Up MPI Debugging Sessions" and "Setting Up Parallel Debugging Sessions".
