  • 1.  Tracking process progression by debugging

    Posted 01/29/25 03:15 AM

    Hi,

    sometimes we debug the BAW server searching on issues.

    The problem with debugging is that if we enable the debug for com.ibm.bpm.*, .... we have a bunch of traces that we cannot easily trace.

    Is there a way to narrow the processes progressions by enabling trace on entering/exiting of activities in the process ?

     We cannot find the package with may achieve this goal.

    Thanks for help

    Hi, 

    If you enable DEF monitoring - you can listen monitoring events on JMS queue.

    https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/baw/24.x?topic=events-capturing-business-automation-workflow-external-consumption

    These events are emitted for subscribed components – including execution of activities so you can get events like:
    bpmnx:ACTIVITY_ACTIVE
    bpmnx:ACTIVITY_COMPLETED

    However, DEF data model is not straightforward - as purpose of this framework was auditing & business monitoring, not debugging. 

    So probably the easiest is still to do some (custom) application logging.
