Testing a subflow user-defined node project

Test how the user-defined node is displayed, and how it behaves in your environment.

About this task

You can test how the user-defined node is displayed, and how it behaves in your environment by simulating the node. The user-defined node is displayed in the palette in the Message Flow editor, and any change to the plug-in during the simulation is effective immediately; you are not required to restart the simulation.
  • If you are using custom editors, compilers, or Java™ code, these resources cannot be tested in simulation mode. To test and debug these projects and resources you must launch a second IBM® Integration Toolkit by using the following steps:
    1. Right-click the user-defined node project. The menu opens.
    2. Click Run in New Workbench.
      • If the project contains errors, you receive an error message that gives you the option to continue, or to cancel the action.
      • If the project is error-free, the Workspace Launcher window opens.
        1. You can choose to use a new or an existing workspace. To choose an existing workspace, click Browse. The second workspace opens.
        2. You can now test and debug by using the user-defined nodes in all error-free user-defined node projects in your first workbench.
  • In previous versions of the IBM Integration Toolkit, you were able to use launch configurations to test custom editors, compilers, or Java code. However, launch configurations are not supported with user-defined nodes that are created from a subflow. To test custom editors, compilers, and Java code with user-defined nodes that are created from a subflow, right-click the user-defined node project and click Run in New Workbench.
