The component editors are IBM® Integration Designer tools that are used to create business integration components, such as business processes or mediation flows. In the component editors, you can set breakpoints on component elements or source code and then use the integration debugger to graphically step through instances of the components and work with their variables or messages.

The integration debugger can be used in conjunction with the following component editors:

  • Business process editor
  • Business state machine editor
  • Business object map editor
  • Business rule set editor and decision table editor
  • Visual snippet editor
  • Mediation flow editor
  • XML map editor

In the component editors, there are several integration debugger symbols that can appear either before, during, or after a debugging session. These symbols are described in the following table.

Symbol Description
Picture of the installed and enabled breakpoint symbol The breakpoint is installed and enabled.
Picture of the installed and disabled breakpoint symbol The breakpoint is installed and disabled.
Picture of a breakpoint that is enabled but restricted to one or more instances of the business process The breakpoint is enabled but restricted to one or more threads of the business process.
Picture of a breakpoint that is enabled in a line of source code The breakpoint is enabled in a line of source code in the Java™ snippet editor or the condition editor.
Picture of a breakpoint that is enabled in all instances of a component The breakpoint is enabled in all threads of the component.
Picture of a disabled breakpoint The breakpoint is disabled.
Picture of a popped breakpoint The breakpoint is popped.
Picture of the true symbol In a business process, the link followed if a transition condition evaluates to true. Or, in a mediation flow, the connection that was run.
Picture of the false symbol In a business process, the link followed if a transition condition evaluates to false.
Picture of the skipped symbol The link followed in a business process if a transition condition is skipped.
Picture of the true or run symbol A condition evaluated to true or an action was run in a business rule set or decision table.
Picture of the false or not run symbol A condition evaluated to false or an action was not run in a business rule set or decision table.
Picture of the exception symbol An exception was encountered in executing a mediation primitive in a mediation flow.
