If you are debugging a business process in the integration debugger and execution suspends at a breakpoint in a Java™ snippet, you can evaluate expressions in the context of a stack frame.

Before you begin

Expressions can be entered and evaluated in the following areas:
  • Detail pane of the Expressions view
  • Java editor when it is displaying source and it is not read-only

About this task

To evaluate expressions:

Procedure

  1. Select the stack frame in which an evaluation is to be performed. For the detail pane of the Expressions view, the evaluation context will be a selected variable. If no variable is selected, the selected stack frame will be the context.
  2. Select the expression to be evaluated and select Display, Inspect or Execute from the context menu. The result of a Display or Inspect evaluation is shown in the Expressions view. Note that Execute does not display a result. The expression is just run.

Example

Note: Evaluations cannot be performed in threads that have been manually suspended.
