Enabling synchronous mode for debugging

When you develop Intelligent Virtual Assistant (IVA) for Facebook, you can enable the synchronous mode to help in the debugging process. For example, you can insert break points to ensure that you track issues in the conversational channel, for instance, in a multi node environment.

By default, the debugging synchronous mode is disabled.
Note: Do not use the debugging synchronous mode for IVA for Facebook in a production environment .
Before you begin: To use IVA for Facebook in your application, obtain and install the Facebook channel component from Pega Exchange.
  1. In the Facebook channel interface, click the Behavior tab.
  2. Select the Enable debugging mode (synchronous processing) check box.
  3. Click Save.
Result: 

You can now debug IVA for Facebook, for example, by adding break points in the application.
