Debugging client-side human services
If errors occur while the client-side human service is running, you can debug the client-side human service by using the Inspector in IBM Process Designer. The debugging feature of the Inspector enables you to examine how the client-side human service operates in each step of its execution.
About this task
Using the Inspector, you can incrementally step through the activities in your client-side human service so that you can observe how the client-side human service behaves as it runs. The Inspector pauses the execution of the service flow before running each step and displays the variable values at each point.
If your client-side human service does not behave as you expected, you can use the debugging capability to identify which step is at fault. The error message is displayed in the playback window and on the sidebar in the Inspector.
