<DIV>Where you to set up the break points in the workflow..</DIV>
<DIV>so far the only way I was doing is having a break in a funtion module and

<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>

everyone, </SPAN></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Has
anyone used transaction SWF_DEBUG? I was using it for some unit testing last
month and once I got used to it I found it quite useful. </SPAN></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">However,
I found a bug when the breakpoint is set in a sub workflow and reported it on
OSS, and just had the following response. I'd be interested to know if other
people have already heard that the transaction was a "mistake" - especially as
we have some folks from SAP in the WUG who might be able to shed some light.

personally was disappointed to hear that it is not supported.
