Testing Workflow Processes

Before activating a workflow process, you can test it to make sure that the workflow functions correctly.

The InsertRecord method in the Inbound Email Database Operation business service calls 5 other actions to complete the operation. When you test (or simulate) a workflow with a step that calls this method, you must click the Next button in the Process Simulator to advance to the next action for the method in the step. After you click the Next button, it might appear that the step processing terminates, but actually step processing continues. For more information about the Process Simulator, see Running the Process Simulator and Siebel Business Process Framework: Workflow Guide.

To test a workflow process

1. In the Siebel Tools Object Explorer, select the Workflow Processes object.
2. In the Workflow Processes list, query for a process name of eMail*.
3. Right-click the workflow process that you want to test and choose Simulate Workflow Process.
