<DIV>so far the only way I was doing is having a break in a funtion module and call the function module from the method. What are the other ways of doing this.. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Any way I cant see SWF_DEBUG in enterprise version...I assume it is in ECC...</DIV>

<P>Hi Sue, </P>
<DIV>I believe you can set instance-level breakpoints or definition-level breakpoints which are valid for all instances of that definition. The path you have described sets an instance breakpoint.</DIV>
<DIV>I only found the transaction last month (and there doesn't seem to be any documentation on it at all) and only used definition breakpoints that I set before kicking off the workflows, I didn't think about setting breakpoints in errored instances like you describe?</DIV>
<P>They did indeed make the workflow stop - in the tech log on the Step History tab you get a message saying that the breakpoint has been reached (technically speaking, the workflow instance gets set to this status - in table SWP_HEADER, field TECH_STATE there is now a value 06 for breakpoint reached).</P>
<P>However, we had problems restarting the workflows that had reached their breakpoints. You do this from SWF_DEBUG and it worked a few times, but the whole thing was too buggy to play around with it properly (hence the OSS). A bit of a struggle like you say. </P>
<P>It's a shame SAP doesn't intend to continue it though, it would be nice to be able to debug task methods without having to change background tasks to dialog, etc.</P>
<P>Regards, <BR>Gavin<BR> </P><BR><BR>
