Button

Function / Meaning

Resume

Runs the activity which is currently selected in the Stopped Activities list.
Note: It is necessary to distinguish between this resume command (used in workflow debugging) and the 'Resume' command used in script debugging.

Report

Displays as report on the current activity status

Trace

Enabled only for activities of the 'Script' type. It enables editing of the Python script contained in the currently stopped node.
When the 'Trace' button is pressed, the Workflow Debugger changes into the Script Debugger described further in this chapter.

Run To Selected

Runs the workflow from the currently stopped activity to the activity selected in the upper part of the window.

Stop:

Meaning

never

The workflow 'never' stops, this means that the workflow will be executed to the end (all necessary activities will be executed without interruptions). Note, however, that the 'never' setting applies only to activities which have not been stopped already, the already stopped activities must be run manually (using the above described 'Resume' button) before the rest of the workflow can be executed automatically.

always

Default setting. The workflow always stops, i.e. each activity must be triggered by pressing the 'Resume' button.

on selection

The workflow stops at the nearest node breakpoint, see below.

In order to create a node breakpoint, right-click the node at which you want the workflow to stop (during debugging) and select 'Breakpoint' from the right-click menu. This turns the node into a node breakpoint which means that if the 'on selection' option is selected, the workflow debug execution will stop at this node.

The fact that a node is a node breakpoint is signified by a '***Breakpoint***' remark below node description. Note that you may have to enlarge the node to actually see the remark.
