5.3.16 Procedure for checking property mapping settings during debugging

The following describes how to check whether the values of service properties and plug-in properties are mapped as intended during the debug process.

By viewing the Properties tab of the Debug view and the service template debugging view, you can make sure that the same value is assigned to plug-in properties and the service properties to which they are mapped.

Use the following timing to check the mapping settings during debugging:

For mapping between plug-in input properties and service input properties or variables

While the step is paused before executing the plug-in processing.
For mapping between plug-in output properties and service output properties or variables
- If skipping plug-in processing, when the step is resumed after you specify the plug-in output properties and return value.
- After resuming a step that was paused after executing plug-in processing.

To check the property mapping of a plug-in:

In the Flow view, select the step whose plug-in property values you want to check.

The Debug view displays the input properties and output properties of the step you selected.
Click the Properties tab at the bottom of the service template debugging view.

The values of the service properties are displayed.
In the Debug view, review the contents of the Mapping Parameters column for the plug-in property you want to check, and identify the service property to which it is mapped.
In the Property Key column of the Properties tab, find the service property you identified in step 3.
In the Debug view and the Property List view, make sure that the same value appears in the Property Value columns for the plug-in property and the mapped service property.

If a service property is not mapped to the intended plug-in property or the values of the plug-in property and the service property differ, fix the problem in the service template editing view.

You can also change the values of the plug-in properties. By doing so, you can test the plug-in processing when property mapping is configured correctly, and see how the processing of subsequent steps and the flow transitions change with an assortment of values.

Tip

Property types are represented by the following icons in the Debug view and the Properties tab:

icon: Indicates an input property.

icon: Indicates an output property.

icon: Indicates a variable.

Important note: When parallel is specified for the foreachMode property of a repeated execution plug-in, values assigned to service properties in a repeated flow executed in parallel do not appear in the Properties tab.
