  - Debugging
    The debugging function allows you to locate and isolate an error in your workflow in order to fix it before the workflow is used in a production environment.
    - Breakpoints
      Breakpoints allow you to intentionally pause a workflow when it reaches a specific location, such as a process step or activity. The workflow automatically pauses whenever a breakpoint is reached if the workflow debugger is attached.

Start a debugging session for a workflow instance

Before you begin

You can view the workflow that is currently running. A resource must already have been added in order to select it from this list.

Procedure

In the navigator, click Workflow.
In the resource list, select the workflow that you want to work with. If no workflow exists, create a new workflow.
In the Displays panel, click Workflow Management Workflow Editor.
From the Workspace, select the workflow instance you want to work with, and then click Attach.
The workflow instance opens in the Workflow Editor with the debugger attached.

Results

Note: The debugger detaches automatically if the workflow instance finishes or is stopped.
