The Execute Menu option enables the user to execute, abort & debug the created
workflow seamlessly. Let us take a detailed walk-through of the menus in the
execute menu.
Run
Run option is used to execute the workflow.
The result of the executed workflow will be displayed in the Output window. It shows
all details including execution's start, end time and thereby the duration of the
execution as well.
Debug
The Debug option can be opt for Debugging as it is an important part of determining
workflow execution issues.
While debugging the workflow, a pop-up window will appear on the left hand side of
the designer. This window looks out the variables and arguments passed in the
workflow and displays the values passed against it parallelly.
You can view the Debug result in Debug section of the output window.
Abort
The Abort option terminates the workflow's execution while either running or debugging.
It enables you to terminate the execution on demand.
Continue
When it reaches the Breakpoint while debugging, the Continue option will be highlighted.
User can use this option to continue the execution of the workflow.
Delete All Breakpoints
You can provide multiple break points in a workflow. If you want to delete all the
breakpoints use this option to Delete All Breakpoints from the workflow. A confirmation
pop-up appears on the screen.
Toggle Breakpoint
Toggle Breakpoint feature is useful when the user wants to stop or pause at a preferred
point in the workflow during the execution. Use this menu to enable or disable breakpoint
for debugging.
If users select a particular activity where they want a break and enable Toggle Breakpoint,
that particular activity gets highlighted with a red icon, indicating that the break point has
been activated for the same.
Debug Timer
The Debug menu now has a timer function, which gives even greater control to the robot
designer for troubleshooting workflows. You can select the time from the drop-down as
per your requirements.
