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 page865).
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 page864.
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:
l
Click on Skip to ignore the next task or branch and go to the subsequent one. The job file
is not modified in any way.
l
Click on View as Text in the Data group of the Debug tab to view the current job file
using a text editor (Notepad by default).
l
Click on View as PDF to view the current job file in Adobe Acrobat if it is present (this will
work only for PDF job files).
l
Click on View Metadata to open the data selector and see the current state of the
process' Metadata.
l
Click on View as Hex to view the current job file in the internal Hex editor.
