Starting a debugging session

You start a debugging session to test your rules and evaluate the runtime performance of a ruleset.

About this task

Before deploying your rules, you should always test and debug them, and evaluate the runtime performance of a ruleset.

Procedure

To start a debug session in Rule Designer:

On the Run menu, select Debug Configurations.
In the Debug Configurations dialog, click a previously defined configuration in the Configurations pane.
Click Debug.
Click Yes to confirm the switch to the Debug perspective.

Results

You can then add and remove breakpoints, inspect the agenda and working memory, and take other debugging actions. This way, you can test and fix bugs in a decision operation for decision services, in a classic rule project or Java™ application.
