As a workflow designer, you can debug individual schema elements.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the Automation Orchestrator Client.
  2. Navigate to Library > Workflows, and select your workflow.
  3. Select the Schema tab.
  4. Select the workflow element you want to debug, and click the debug button on the top-left of the element.
    Note: By adding a breakpoint to a Workflow Element schema element, you can debug child workflows directly from the parent workflow. When the debugger reaches the Workflow Element schema element, it opens the schema view of the child workflow.
  5. Repeat for any other schema elements you want to debug.
  6. Click Debug.
  7. Enter the requested input parameter values, and click Run.
