Running the Task Debugger

You can choose the Tools menu and then the Debug Mode menu item in the Siebel client to toggle the Debug Mode on or off. You can toggle this mode before, during, or after running a task.

To run the task debugger

1. Log in to the Siebel client.

2. From the Tools menu, select the Debug Mode menu item.

3. Click Open Task Pane to open the task pane.

   The Open Task Pane icon appears next to the Site Map icon.

4. In the task pane, drill down on the task that you want to debug.

   Siebel CRM opens the task and then runs the start step of the task. It also opens the Task Properties watch window for the task, which includes the properties for the step that it most recently run. A line titled Last Action appears under the name of the task you are debugging. This line indicates the last navigation action that was performed. For example, Next.

5. Click Continue in the watch window.

   Siebel CRM runs the next step in the task. For example, if the next step is a task view step, then it displays a task view.

6. To continue to run and debug the task, click one of the playbar buttons in the task view.

7. Repeat the previous two steps until you reach the end step.

   Debugging ends when you reach the end step.

8. (Optional) To end a debugging session before you reach the end step, do one of the following:

   • Click Stop in the watch window.

   • Click Cancel in a task view.
