WSO2 workflow execution trace for debugging purposes

Question

We are currently evaluating the latest version of WSO2 BPS 3.0 as an open source replacement for Oracle BPEL. So far, I have managed to create and deploy a workflow on the BPS server. I was also able to test it and everything is working fine.

However, the problem is with EXECUTION TRACE , as we can, on the Oracle BPEL console. I have successfully enabled SOAP TRACING only to view SOAP messages in and out of the BPEL process. However, I would like to see a conclusion at each intermediate stage of the workflow. Oracle does a wonderful job in which I can simply click the individual steps in the execution trace and view the results after each step. This is very important functionality, and I'm surprised that OUT OF THE BOX is not turned on.

I also tried the steps in BPEL Designer for Eclipse: how to debug a BPEL process , but still can't get it working.

Can someone specify the exact steps so that I can visualize the output of each step in the workflow.

Answer 1

You can find the input and output messages corresponding to each activity from the instance view. In the management console, go to the object instance view and click on the given process instance identifier. You will then be taken to the instance view.

Also, by turning on the soap tracer from the management console, you can view incoming and outgoing soap messages.

In addition, you can enable log-level message tracing to log all incoming and outgoing messages.
