Executing a workflow in step mode

Step mode is a method of manually executing a workflow in the BMC Atrium Orchestrator Operator Control Panel application by stepping to the next activity. The workflow pauses at every activity and continues executing at your command.

To execute a workflow in step mode

1. In the Workflow explorer, double-click the workflow to open it in the Workflow canvas.
2. In the toolbar, click the Step icon .
   
   The workflow executes, and the Results pane replaces the Information pane.

   Note

   If the workflow requires your input, a dialog box is displayed and the workflow pauses until you provide the information.

3. When the workflow completes an activity it pauses and the toolbar is highlighted.
   • Click the Step icon to skip to the next activity.
   • Click the Step Into icon to drill down into the activity. If you select step into, then BMC Atrium Orchestrator Operator Control Panel pauses for input at all activities in the branches of the workflow.
   • Click the Run to Completion icon to run the workflow without further pauses, or until it requires your input.
