Testing and debugging message flow applications

Use the flow debugger to test and error-check your message flows.

This section includes the following topics:
  • Flow debugger overview

    Read this section to learn about the function provided by the flow debugger, and why you might want to use it.

    To use the flow debugger effectively, see Message flows overview to gain a basic understanding of message flows and their representation in the workbench.

  • Debugging a message flow

    This section describes the tasks that you can follow to start the flow debugger and to set options to test and debug the steps taken by the message flow.

The IBM Redbooks publication WebSphere Message Broker Basics also provides information about using the debugger for your message flows.

When you debug message flows, choose a broker that is set up for test and not for production, for the following reasons:

  1. Debugging might degrade the performance of all message flows that are deployed to the broker. Other flows in the same execution group, and those in other execution groups defined to the same broker could be impacted by potential resource contention.

Do not debug message flows through the Internet; the security function has not been enabled.
