Set and Remove Breakpoints in a Process

You can use breakpoints to identify errors. Breakpoints help you check variable values and operator parameters. Set a breakpoint on an operator to interrupt a process immediately before the operator starts. You can then set parameter values and examine processing of an operator as it occurs.

When a breakpoint is set, the entire process is suspended when it reaches the operator with the breakpoint. An exclamation point (!) symbol appears near the operator that has suspended the process.

You can set and remove breakpoints in a process object or in a suspended process instance. Breakpoints you set in the original process object definition automatically appear in any instances of that process.

Follow these steps:

1. Open a process in the Process Designer.
2. Select one or more operators in the process.
3. On the toolbar, click Set Breakpoints.

   The breakpoint symbol appears next to the selected operator.

4. To remove existing breakpoints, select one or more operators, and click the Remove Breakpoints button on the Debug toolbar.
