Using Breakpoints in Workflows

To better debug a workflow, you can add breakpoints to steps during a debug session using Monitor. This is intended for testing purposes only.

When the workflow runs in Monitor, it stops at a breakpoint. You can then continue to the next breakpoint, or ignore any further breakpoints and continue to the end of the workflow.

You can also add breakpoints to steps in a workflow on the fly by pausing at a specific step, and then adding breakpoints to later steps in Monitor. To do this ensure that you have a mechanism to pause the workflow appropriately, such as a transition that is dependent on the value of a Boolean user instance being modified.

To use breakpoints:

1.

Run the project with the required workflow. For an example, download the project here.

2.

Run Monitor.

3.

Add breakpoints to the steps by changing Breakpoint Enabled to True.

4.

Run the workflow.

5.

(Optional) If the workflow pauses at a step, add breakpoints to later steps by changing Breakpoint Enabled to True.

6.

When the workflow stops at a breakpoint, click to continue to the next breakpoint, or click to ignore any further breakpoints and continue to the end of the workflow.
