Author Suggestions on debugging an orchestration

Ok, my orchestration runs fine but I need to show a few guys how to debug an
orchestration.

It might sound simple, but how do I get my orchestration to fail or stop
long enough to be able to go into HAT and put breakpoints in it.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Norton,

I've only managed to do this by actually putting a message through without
debugging, then going to the Message Flow dialog for that message. From there
you can choose Orchestration Debugger, and then put a breakpoint where you
want it when the orchestration is displayed.

Next time you send a message it should break at the appropriate point.

Cheers,

Martin

So, are you saying that you put a message through that fails and then you go
and look at the message, or do you let a message go all the way through and
then look at the last 100 messages?

Thanks!

Essentially my experience has been that you need an instance of a message
failure to get to the Orchestration Debugger. Once you can get to that from
Message Flow, then you can view the orchestration, stick a break point on
somewhere, and then stick another message through.

Seems crazy to have to do it that way, and I reckon there must be a "proper"
way, but that's certainly what I've done.

From HAT, you can definitely select a successfully completed orchestration,
right-click and select "Orchestration Debugger" and view which paths it took.
However, I doubt you can do a "Debugger Attach" (to see actual message
values) unless you are in a failure, breakpoint, or suspend shape.

Also remember that when you set a breakpoint, it effects all following
orchestrations until you clear the breakpoint.
