Concept: Assembly Debugger

Concept: Assembly Debugger

The Workday Studio Assembly Debugger is a tool for debugging assemblies in the Workday server environment. The Assembly Debugger enables you to:
  • Examine the assembly message runtime context.
  • Suspend assembly threads.
  • Test MVEL expressions.
If your assembly contains components or steps that reference a static file, ensure that there are no spaces in the referenced filepath before debugging.
You can't debug an assembly in a Production tenant. Use a non-Production environment for debugging.

Setting Breakpoints

Breakpoints enable you to pause the debugging process at specific points in your assemblies. To set breakpoints on assembly elements, right-click an element and select
Toggle Assembly Breakpoint
. In the main Assembly Editor view, a blue circle displays on the upper right-hand corner of the element to indicate a new breakpoint.
