Debug perspective

This is where you test and debug a graphical representation of your message flows using the message flow debugger.

The following figure shows the Debug perspective of the Message Brokers Toolkit. In the figure, the LargeMsgSupport_MRM_XML message flow is being debugged.

Debug perspective views

The Debug perspective contains the following views:

Debug view
Displays the deployed message flow types for a selected host to help you manage flow debugging. Toolbar buttons are provided for controlling the execution of the flow. You can start, stop, and resume a flow, step into, and out of a subflow, and step into the source code.
Breakpoints view
Lists the breakpoints that have been set on connections in your message flow. In this view you can add, disable, enable or remove breakpoints. You can also restrict a breakpoint to one or more specific instances of a message flow using the Properties view.
Variables view
When a message flow is interrupted by a breakpoint, you can view the message content to check whether the message flow is executing as expected, and to make any changes required.
Message Flow editor view
Here you can add breakpoints to the connections of a message flow that is open in the Message Flow editor.
