Adding breakpoints in the flow debugger

Before you start:

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

You can add breakpoints to the connections of a message flow that is open in the Message Flow editor. Every breakpoint is automatically enabled. Each breakpoint that you add to a flow is also automatically added to all other instances of the flow and you do not need to restart any of the instances.

When you add a breakpoint to a connection, the connection is flagged with the enabled breakpoint symbol Enabled breakpoint .

To add breakpoints to the connections of a message flow:

  1. Switch to the Debug perspective.
  2. Add breakpoints to the appropriate connections. Use any of the following methods:
    Option Description
    Add breakpoints individually to selected connections:
    1. In the Message Flow editor, right-click the connection where you want to set the breakpoint.
    2. Click Add Breakpoint on the pop-up menu.
    Add breakpoints simultaneously to all connections entering a selected node:
    1. In the Message Flow editor, right-click the node before which you want to set breakpoints.
    2. Click Add Breakpoints Before Node on the pop-up menu.
    Add breakpoints simultaneously to all connections leaving a selected node:
    1. In the Message Flow editor, right-click the node after which you want to set breakpoints.
    2. Click Add Breakpoints After Node on the pop-up menu.

Now that you have added at least one breakpoint to the message flow, you can step through the flow instance and work with data:
