Enabling breakpoints in the integration debugger

When you are working with the integration debugger, you can enable breakpoints directly in component elements in a component editor or in lines of code in the Java™ snippet editor or condition editor. You can also use the Breakpoints view to select and enable breakpoints. Any breakpoint that you enable in a component instance is also automatically enabled in all other instances of the component and you do not need to restart any of the instances.

Before you begin

In the integration debugger, you use menu items to enable breakpoints in components. The specific menu items that are available for enabling breakpoints is dependent on the following factors:
  • The kind of component you are enabling breakpoints in
  • The status of the integration debugger (started or not started)

About this task

To enable breakpoints:

Procedure

  1. If you want to enable an individual breakpoint in a component element, right-click the breakpoint in the component editor and select one of the following menu items:
    • Debug > Enable Breakpoint (or Debug > Enable/Disable Breakpoint)
    • Debug > Enable Entry Breakpoint (or Debug > Enable/Disable Entry Breakpoint)
    • Debug > Enable Exit Breakpoint (or Debug > Enable/Disable Exit Breakpoint)
    • Local Debug > Enable Entry Breakpoint
    • Local Debug > Enable Exit Breakpoint
  2. If you want to enable a breakpoint in a line of code in a Java snippet or condition, complete one of the following steps:
    • In the Java snippet editor or condition editor, right-click the breakpoint in the left margin and select Enable Breakpoint.
    • In the Java snippet editor or condition editor, highlight the line of code where the breakpoint is set, then right-click the line of code and select Debug > Enable Breakpoint (or Debug > Enable/Disable Breakpoint).
  3. If you want to enable one or more selected breakpoints in the Breakpoints view, complete the following steps:
    1. In the Debug perspective, click the Breakpoints tab to open the Breakpoints view.
    2. In the Breakpoints view, select the check box beside each breakpoint that you want to enable.
  4. If you want to enable an individual breakpoint in a business process through the Breakpoint Properties window, complete the following steps:
    1. In the Debug perspective, click the Breakpoints tab to open the Breakpoints view.
    2. In the Breakpoints view, right-click the breakpoint in the business process that you want to enable and select Properties. The breakpoint Properties window opens.
    3. In the left frame of the Properties window, ensure that Common is selected.
    4. In the right frame of the Properties window, select the Enabled check box and click OK.
