Hi Folks,

I've been trying to get the service pane in Orchestration
Debugger, the documentation says,

When an orchestration appears in the In Breakpoint state
and the Orchestration Debugger starts, you can perform the
following actions:

Use the Attach Service option.
Review the steps that have already completed.
View the state of variables and messages.
Set additional breakpoints.
Select the Continue Service option.
Repeat any steps as required.

The problem is: how do i choose "Attach Service" Option,
right click on service instance doesn't give me that
option.

please help, thanks in advance.

Dave,

You have to actually start the Orchestration Debugger from your service inst
ance before you can attach to the executing instance of your orchestration. 
 From the service instance view, highlight the instance that your are intere
sted in and select Orchestr
ation Debugger.  Once this opens, you can select Debug|Attach to get where y
ou wish.

Hi Ron,

I did exactly as you described, but I don't see the
service pane. I do see tracked events pane, orchestration
pane, and variable pane though.

According to documentation, i should see following in
Service pane.

Service Options - Drop-down list of actions that you can
perform based on the state of the debugger and the
instance.

Thanks,

Dave

Hi Dave,

I'm not sure where the process is breaking down for you, so from the top her
e is what I do:

1) Start|Programs|Health and Activity Tracking
2) In the view that opens, choose Operations|Service Instances from the menu
3) Structure your query such that you are returned the orchestration instanc
e in which you are interested and run the query. If you are NOT returned any
 rows, then it means that you do not have any active orchestration instances
.
4) Single-click on any of the columns of the returned row in which you are i
nterested
5) Invoke the popup menu and select Orchestration Debugger
6) Once the Orchestration Debugger opens, you can select Debug|Attach from t
he menu to begin interactive debugging.

Good luck

ron
