Using Collaboration Debugger

Collaboration Debugger is a workbench perspective that allows you to specify points at which a collaboration process should pause while executing, and allows you to inspect the data of the flow being processed at those points.

To debug a collaboration, you must do a number of tasks such as attach Collaboration Debugger to a collaboration object, configure breakpoints, manage the progress of the flow through the collaboration, and inspect the data of the flow. The following characteristics describe the use of Collaboration Debugger:

Due to the non-linear nature of debugging a collaboration, the sections of this chapter describe the interfaces of the perspective or certain tasks that you perform in the order in which you most commonly use the interfaces or perform the tasks. Debugging a collaboration describes the workflow of debugging a collaboration to provide a more linear guide to the interfaces and tasks.
