Debug: stepping into subflows

Before you start

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

When message flow processing has paused at a breakpoint, you can step into the subflow that follows:

  1. Switch to the Debug perspective.
  2. In the Debug view, click the Step Into Subflow icon Step into subflow  on the toolbar, or right-click the flow stack frame, then click Step into subflow  Step Into. The subflow opens in the Message Flow editor and displaces the parent message flow.
Start of changeWhen you step into a subflow, 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:
