Process debugging

Tools provided by EximeeBPMS Cockpit allow debugging of processes, in particular insight into process variables and their current values.

After opening the detailed view of a process, all its running instances are presented. On the diagram, active instances are marked with a blue circle, while locations where an incident occurred are marked in red.

Incidents are also visible in the Process Instances tab in the State column, where a red marker appears next to the instances.

After clicking the process number (in the IDcolumn), the details of the specific instance are presented.

Incidents

The Incidents displays errors generated by a given process instance. The most important column during debugging is the Messagecolumn, which shows the message describing the incident. Proper analysis of it is crucial to diagnose the problem.

After clicking the message content, a dialog window with the full message text will be displayed.

On the right side in the Action column there is an icon of a curled arrow. Clicking it allows restarting the activity that ended in an incident.

Variable values

Alternative text for the default value "Choose": Variables contain all variables and their values passed to the process. Clicking the red pencil icon allows manual editing of the values. Combined with the action of restarting an activity, this is a useful tool for testing and debugging the process.

Logs

While working with processes, it may happen that despite the time indicated in router-api, the latest version of the process will not appear in EximeeBPMS. In such a case the version visible in Cockpit may differ from the one available in Eximee Designer.

Information about errors that occurred during synchronization can be found in the process-handler-executor.
