Debugging a Timer Job

To do this:

1) In Visual Studio, add a break point in the Execute method in the timer job

2) Attach to the OWSTIMER process (Debug –> Attach to process)

3) Open up Central Administration, and find the timer job

4) Edit the timer job and click the “Run Now” button

This should now step into your code.
