About Using the Process Simulator

You can use the Process Simulator to test a Workflowy Process. Testing your Workflow Process before you deliver it to its parent Integration Branch makes sure that it works correctly and that the results meet your business requirements.

You use the following to simulate a Workflow Process:

1. Repository data. The Process Simulator accesses object definitions from the repository that are part of the Workflow Process or that the Workflow Process references.

2. Runtime data. During simulation, data is accessed or modified depending on how you define the Workflow Process. It can access data in the runtime database, such as customer data that resides in various fields of an opportunity.

If you run a Workflow Process from the Process Simulator, then it runs in the Application Object Manager. You can start a Workflow Process in the Application Object Manager or in a server session of the Workflow Process Manager.
