Depending on the kind of business integration component that you are debugging, you can use the integration debugger to step into component elements.

Before you begin

The elements that you can step into for each kind of business integration component are listed in the following table:

Business integration component Elements that can be stepped into
Business processes Java™ snippets, visual snippets
State machines None
Business object data maps Submaps, Java snippets,
Business rules Rule set templates
Visual snippets Custom visual snippets, Java visual snippets
Mediation flows Subflows

About this task

To step into component elements:

Procedure

  1. In the Debug view, ensure that the correct stack frame is selected.
  2. In the component editor, ensure that the component thread is paused at a position immediately before the element that you want to step into. For example, if you want to step into a Java snippet in the business process editor, you must ensure that the Java snippet activity has an entry breakpoint on it and that the component thread is paused before the breakpoint.
  3. In the Debug view, click the Step Into icon Picture of the Step Into icon. The element that you are stepping into opens and the component thread pauses at the first location where a breakpoint exists or can be set. For example, if you step into a Java snippet, the component thread pauses at the first line of code that contains a breakpoint or where you could set a breakpoint.
