Action task to actually run in the process). Do not forget, however, to remove this
duplicate task before saving the configuration!
l If any task makes an operation on the system (for example, capturing files, sending data,
printing, etc), it is actually executed, not simulated.
l
Any task is executed with the permissions of the user that is currently running the
PlanetPress Workflow Configuration tool. When running in Service mode, the user
configured in the Configure Services dialog is used instead. If the credentials are
different, a job that runs in debug mode may fail at run-time if the permissions are not
available to the Service. Please see "Workflow Services" on page674 for more details.
Running in Debug mode
Debugging can be run in different ways:
l
From the Debug tab, click on Run. This executes the complete process, step by step,
until it is completed.
l
From the Debug tab, click on Step. This executes only the first task in the process and
waits for further action. While stepping through a process (using Step, not Run),
breakpoints may be used and given steps may be passed, using the buttons on the
Debug ribbon (see below).
l
Right-click on any task in the process and click Run from Here or Step from Here.
These actions are the same as using the debug Step and Run buttons, but will execute
the process only starting from that task forward.
Double-click on any task to change its properties. If you change the properties of a task before
you step through it, those new properties will be used when the task is executed. Note that you
cannot modify the process itself while in debug mode (you cannot add, delete or move tasks,
change branches and conditions, etc).
Look at the Messages Area pane to see any message generated by the tasks that run (See "
The Message Area Pane" on page677).
Use the Debug Information pane to see the current value of any variable in your process or
globally, or to evaluate custom expression. See "The Debug Information pane" on page676.
Use the Object Inspector - one of the panes alongside the Debug Information pane - on the
process to enter sample job information as required.
The Debug ribbon provides the following buttons:
