About the Business Service Simulator

A workflow process can be run as a business service from the Business Service Simulator in the Siebel client.

Use the Business Service simulator when you must debug script in conjunction with a workflow. You can set breakpoints in the script then execute the workflow in the Siebel Mobile Web Client. When the workflow executes a service for which a breakpoint is set, control is returned to the Script Debugger in Siebel Tools.

The workflow must be published and activated before the workflow can be tested with the Business Service simulator. To use the simulator, conditions that must be met include:

• The Siebel Mobile Web Client must be installed.
• The workflow process must be exported from Siebel Tools.
• The workflow process must be imported through the Siebel client.

TIP:   Alternatively, you can publish and activate the workflow to the Siebel Mobile Web Client directly from Siebel Tools.
