# Run/Debug Configurations dialog box (local function settings) This dialog box is displayed whenever you update settings for the *local* version of an AWS Lambda function. **Note** To update settings for the *remote* version of that same function (the function's source code is in Lambda in your AWS account), see [Run/Debug Configurations dialog box (remote function settings)](run-debug-configurations-dialog-remote.md) instead. This dialog box contains three tabs: **Configuration**, **SAM CLI**, and **AWS Connection**. ![\[The Configuration tab of the Run/Debug Configurations dialog box for local function settings.\]](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/toolkit-for-jetbrains/latest/userguide/images/sam-run-debug-config-zip.png) The **Configuration** tab of the **Run/Debug Configurations** dialog box for local function settings contains the following items: **Name** (Required) The name of this configuration. **Allow parallel run / Allow running in parallel ** (Optional) If selected, allows IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, WebStorm, or JetBrains Rider to launch as many instances of the configuration to run in parallel as needed.1 **From handler / From template** (Required) Depending on which option you choose, you must configure additional settings. **Runtime** (Required) The ID of the [Lambda runtime](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/lambda-runtimes.html) to use. **Handler** (Required for the **From handler** option) The identifier of the corresponding function handler for [Java](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/java-handler.html), [Python](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/python-handler.html), [Node.js](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/nodejs-handler.html), or [C\$1](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/csharp-handler.html). **Timeout (seconds)** (Required for the **From handler** option) The amount of time that Lambda allows a function to run before stopping it. Specify an amount up to 900 seconds (15 minutes). **Memory (MB)** (Required for the **From handler** option) The amount of memory available to the function as it runs. Specify an amount [between 128 MB and 3,008 MB](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/gettingstarted-limits.html) in 64-MB increments. **Environment Variables** (Optional for the **From handler** option) Any [environment variables](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/configuration-envvars.html) for the Lambda function to use, specified as key-value pairs. To add, change, or delete environment variables, choose the folder icon, and then follow the on-screen instructions. **Template** (Required for the **From template** option) The location and file name of the AWS Serverless Application Model (AWS SAM) template (for example, `template.yaml`) to use for this configuration, and the resource in that template to associate with this configuration. **File** (Required) The location and file name of the event data to pass to the function, in JSON format. For event data examples, see [Invoke the Lambda function](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/getting-started-create-function.html#get-started-invoke-manually) in the *AWS Lambda Developer Guide* and [Generating sample event payloads](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/serverless-application-model/latest/developerguide/serverless-sam-cli-using-generate-event.html) in the *AWS Serverless Application Model Developer Guide*. **Text** (Required) The event data to pass to the function, in JSON format. For event data examples, see [Invoke the Lambda function](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/getting-started-create-function.html#get-started-invoke-manually) in the *AWS Lambda Developer Guide* and [Generating sample event payloads](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/serverless-application-model/latest/developerguide/serverless-sam-cli-using-generate-event.html) in the *AWS Serverless Application Model Developer Guide*. Either **File** or **Text** is required, but not both. **Before launch: window** (Optional) Lists any tasks that must be performed before starting this configuration.2 ***Notes*** 1 For more information, see the following: + For IntelliJ IDEA, see [Common options](https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/run-debug-configurations-dialog.html#common) on the IntelliJ IDEA Help website. + For PyCharm, see [Common options](https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/run-debug-configurations-dialog.html#common) on the PyCharm Help website. + For WebStorm, see [Common options](https://www.jetbrains.com/help/webstorm/run-debug-configuration-node-js.html#common) on the WebStorm Help website. + For JetBrains Rider, see [Common options](https://www.jetbrains.com/help/rider/Run_Debug_Configurations_dialog.html#common) on the JetBrains Rider Help website. 2 For more information, see the following: + For IntelliJ IDEA, see [Before Launch options](https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/run-debug-configurations-dialog.html#before-launch-options) on the IntelliJ IDEA Help website. + For PyCharm, see [Before Launch options](https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/run-debug-configurations-dialog.html#before-launch-options) on the PyCharm Help website. + For WebStorm, see [Before Launch options](https://www.jetbrains.com/help/webstorm/run-debug-configuration-node-js.html#before-launch-options) on the WebStorm; Help website. + For JetBrains Rider, see [Before Launch options](https://www.jetbrains.com/help/rider/Run_Debug_Configurations_dialog.html#before-launch-options) on the JetBrains Rider Help website. ![\[The SAM CLI tab of the Run/Debug Configurations dialog box for local function settings.\]](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/toolkit-for-jetbrains/latest/userguide/images/sam-run-debug-cli.png) The **SAM CLI** tab of the **Run/Debug Configurations** dialog box for local function settings contains the following items: **Name** (Required) The name of this configuration. **Allow parallel run / Allow running in parallel** (Optional) If selected, allows IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, WebStorm, or JetBrains Rider to launch as many instances of the configuration to run in parallel as needed.1 **Build function inside a container** (Optional) If selected, the AWS SAM CLI builds any of the serverless application's functions inside of a Lambda-like Docker container locally before deployment. This is useful if the function depends on packages that have natively compiled dependencies or programs.
