Launching the Tester

The tester allows you to connect to the remote engine and debug the existing processes running on that engine. Once the tester is launched, you are placed into the Debug view.

1. After the tester is configured, if you are not already in the Debug perspective, click Debug.
2. Notice that in the Debug perspective, various panels display different aspects of the process being debugged.
   

   The Debug view displays an entry for the server connection.

   

   Runtime Behavior

   From the Debug perspective, you can view and control all the processes running on the engine.

   The Debug view in the top left area displays:

   • BPMNode_configuration—Specifies name of the configuration to connect to TIBCO Process Engine.
   • <launched > <host name > :8080/bxEngine/node/ProcessDebugger—Specifies the name of the debug target and the TIBCO Process Engine that the BPMN tester connects to. Its label format is:

     <state>TIBCO Process Engine at <host>:<port number>

     where <state> is either <launched> or <terminated>.

     After you select a process, the details of the testpoints and breakpoints used in the process are displayed in the top right area in the Testpoints and Breakpoints views. Variables can be seen in the Variables view only when a process instance starts and hits a breakpoint.
