This topic describes what it means to validate and inspect a task. The procedure to inspect a task is optional.

Validating a Task

Before you deliver a task (see Delivering a Task), you must validate the task to ensure that it does what it is supposed to do without error. For more information, see Validating a Task.

Inspecting a Task (Optional)

After you validate a task, you can preview the task in the application, prior to delivering the task to the parent Integration Workspace, as shown in the following procedure.

Note: When inspecting a task, the Pause button is disabled to prevent the creation of an inbox item pointing to the task. Implicit pause behavior is also disabled to prevent the creation of an inbox item pointing to the task. If a user tries to implicitly pause a task, an error message will be returned as follows: Error: Task Cannot be Paused in Inspect Mode (SBL-UFI-52142).

To inspect a task

1. Go to the Workspace Dashboard in your client application and open the Workspace that is being used for your task development.

2. Click Inspect on the Workspace Toolbar.

3. Navigate to the view where the task is to be executed (for more information, see Adding a Task Group to a View).

4. Inspect and verify the task.
