Debugging messages

Before you start

To complete this task, you must have completed the following tasks:

When message flow processing has paused at a breakpoint in your message flow, you can examine and modify the message content.

  1. Switch to the Debug perspective.
  2. View the messages in the Variables view.
    Tip: The Breakpoints view and the Variables view share the same pane. Click the tab at the bottom to select the view that you want.
  3. To alter a message, right-click it and select an option from the menu. Start of changeYou cannot alter the content of exceptions within a message.End of change
Start of changeWhen you have viewed message contents, and made any changes that you wanted, message flow processing continues until the next breakpoint that is set in the logical processing of the current message. If there is no further breakpoint at which the flow instance can pause, the flow instance runs to completion and is removed from the Debug view.

If you have now completed debugging this message flow, you can remove the breakpoints, or end the debug session:

End of change
