Check the variables of an activity, and repair the process
variables if they caused the activity to stop.
Before you begin
The process must be in the running state. To see the exposed
variables of an activity, you need at least scope reader or process
reader authority. If the value of the variable can be modified, you
must be a scope administrator or system administrator to modify it. However,
if Business Flow Manager is using the alternative process administration
mode that restricts process administration to system administrators,
then only users in the BPESystemAdministrator role can perform this
action.
About this task
During the lifetime of a process, problems can occur due
to incorrect or missing values in the variables that control the BPEL
process behavior. You can access all the exposed variables of an activity
and repair the process by modifying the variable values. After you
make the changes, you can continue process navigation.
Complete
the following steps in Business Process Choreographer Explorer.
