Note: clicking this button in Power Tools will only give you a popup telling how to get to loan debugger. It does not actually open Loan Debugger.
Purpose
The
Loan Debugger is an innovative, user-friendly
diagnostic tool. Unlike the standard
diagnostic tools that
come with Encompass by default the Loan
Debugger can be evaluated in
real-time. This will allow you to catch
errors
‘in the act’. The tool also provides a
summary section that covers errors, triggers,
calcs and field population.
Activating the Loan Debugger Pro
Before you do anything, make sure
you create this folder on your hard drive if
it doesn't already exist:
C:\EncompassLog\DebugLog. If you
had been logged into Encompass, make sure to
log out of all Encompass instances.
To
use the Loan Debugger you must activate it by
double-clicking the silver target
icon in the bottom-right hand corner of the
screen. NOTE: You must close out of any
open files prior to
activation.

Once the tool is activated open a loan and,
again,
click on the target icon in the bottom-right
hand corner of the screen. This time the
icon will be blue.

Clicking the blue icon will open the Loan
Debugger window. We recommend you check the "ignore common errors" checkbox on the top left.

Important Events Section (Top-Left)
The Important Events section in the top-left
hand
corner of the debugger window is a high-level
overview of events that have
taken place involving the loan file.

Summary Section (Bottom-Left)
The
section in the bottom-left hand corner of the
window is a summary section with
the following tabs: Errors, Triggers,
Calcs and Fields. The Errors tab shows a list of runtime
errors compiled (in order) from the time that
the loan was opened. The Triggers tab is a list of field trigger rules
that have
executed since the file was opened. The Calcs tab is a list of field
calculations that have taken place and the Fields tab is a list of fields that
have been automatically
populated/updated.

Debug Log (Top-Right)
The
Debug Log is the primary diagnostic tool that
shows line-by-line code execution
results. This is similar to the Ellie
Mae diagnostic tool except that it can be
viewed in real-time as changes are
being made to the loan file. The Loan
Debugger opens in its own separate window and
updates anytime a change occurs
in the loan file (automatically or
manually).

Another
great feature of the Debug Log is that any
lines that contain errors or
exceptions are highlighted in red.
