Debug Another Process
Rather than starting a process explicitly from within Enterprise Architect, you may want to debug an application (process) that is already running on your system.
In this case you can use the debugging capability to attach to the process that is already running. Provided you have the appropriate debug information written into the running process, and/or associated debug files (such as .PDB files), the debugger binds to that process and initiates a debug session.
You can also 'detach' from the process after you have completed your inspection and leave the process to run as normal.
