Question:
If the job within the workflow goes to ‘Waiting for Preconditions’ status, you are unable to set a breakpoint on the job. Is that by-design?
By-design
Release : 12.2.X, 12.3.X, 21
Component : AUTOMATION ENGINE
Answer:
This is behavior by design as the condition check is timer-based, and there is no such functionality to interrupt this timer.
With that said, there is an easy way to set a break point on such a task:
1) Go to the workflow monitor, select 'workflow action', select 'modify workflow'
2) On the task, select 'modify', and select 'ignore preconditions'
3) On the task, select 'modify', and select 'set breakpoint'
4) workflow action, select 'apply modification', and choose 'switch and go'
