Debugging

The most effective use of the debugger is to set a breakpoint on an activity just before before the step in the process that is of interest. You can view and change context item values during process execution. Add logging whenever context items have values of interest. Logging carries no significant performance hit. Further, logging can be disabled at the grid level via Grid Manager. This enables frequent logging throughout the development and testing phases. Logging is then turned back down during production. Turning the logging level back up in production can provide rapid debugging. While adding logging should be a standard activity when developing workflows, occasionally it is time-consuming and inefficient to wait for a process to complete before sifting through the logs. The debugger excels in these situations.
