Debugging workflow

The Workflow Designer includes a debug feature designed to aid in detecting, locating, and correcting errors by allowing you to step through the workflow, examine the data, and monitor conditions such as the values of variables .

Once switched on, the debugging tool activates each time a workflow is run from within the designer interface, and 'single-steps' through it, displaying the variables and values as it goes.

To debug workflow:

1. On the Debug menu, click Debug Display On. The Debug tool is now switched on.

2. Select the workflow to be run, by clicking the desired procedure.

3. Click the Run button . The workflow starts and the Debug screen opens.

• You can also click Run on the Debug menu.

4. Click OK to step through the workflow. Each time you press OK the next step in the workflow is actioned and values and variables are displayed in the debugger.

• To stop the workflow, click the Stop button .

• To proceed to the next step without responding, click the Next button .

Note

• Once selected, the debugging tool is only set for the duration of the current Workflow Designer session. Once closed and re-opened the debugger is switched off.
