Resolving errors

Find the source of errors generated when running your business process definition (BPD) and resolve them.

When you run a process and an exception occurs in the instance, the Inspector clearly identifies the error in the diagram and navigation tree. The Inspector also:

The following steps describe how the Inspector identifies an error in a running instance and how it helps you resolve the error:


Procedure

  1. When you run a BPD that does not run properly, the Inspector displays the error in the BPD or service diagram and also in the navigation tree.

  2. Click the error shown in the navigation tree to open the Runtime Error Information window. The Runtime Error Information window tells you exactly where the error happened and it also provides a link to the service in which the error occurred so you can go directly to the source.

  3. Click the More button in the Runtime Error Information window to show additional details about the error, such as stack trace details. You can also use the Copy to Clipboard button if you want to paste the contents of the window to a text file or support ticket. The Inspector copies all information to the clipboard, including stack traces.
