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

Before you begin

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

Business integration component Elements that can be stepped over
Business processes Activities
State machines States
Business object data maps Transformations
Business rules Rule sets (rules, templates, conditions, actions) and decision tables (conditions, actions, values, terms)
Visual snippets Nodes
Mediation flows Mediation primitives, nodes

About this task

To step over a component element:

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 over.
  3. In the Debug view, click the Step Over icon Picture of the Step Over icon. The component thread resumes and steps over the element and then pauses at the next element where a breakpoint either exists or can be added. For example, if the component thread is paused at an activity in a business process, the component thread steps over the activity and pauses at the next available activity. (Similarly, if the component thread is paused at a code execution point inside a Java™ snippet, the component thread steps over the code statements and pauses at the next point in the code where a breakpoint either exists or can be added. When the last line of execution is reached in the Java snippet, the component thread exits the Java snippet and pauses at the next element in the component where a breakpoint exists or can be added.)
