Running the Workflow Process Simulator

You run the Workflow Process Simulator from the Workflow Process list in Siebel Tools.

To simulate a workflow process

1. In Siebel Tools, choose Toolbars, then the Simulate view to activate the Simulator.
2. In the Object Explorer in Siebel Tools, select Workflow Process.
3. Query for Export Account* in the Object List Editor.
4. Right-click on Export Account (File), then choose Simulate Workflow Process.

   The Workflow Process Designer appears, with the border of the Start shape red to indicate that it is the active element.

5. Click Start Simulation in the Simulate toolbar.

   A new instance of the Siebel Debugger starts and then runs the Simulator.

6. Click Simulate Next to activate the next step.

   As you step through the process, the border of each active shape turns red in turn, unless the simulator encounters an error, in which case it displays an error message alert.

7. Click Complete Simulation to pause.
8. Click Stop Simulation to stop.

NOTE:  Use the Workflow Process Simulator only for testing purposes. Do not use the Workflow Process Simulator to load data.
