Script Debugging
Script debugging aids in the development and maintenance of model scripts, and monitoring their activity at the time of execution. While debugging a script, you can:
· | Control execution flow using the Debug, Step Over, Step Into, Step Out and Stop Script buttons on the Script Editor toolbar |
· | Set Breakpoints, Recording Markers and Tracepoint Markers |
· | Use the Debug window to view output generated by the script |
· | Use the Locals window to inspect values of variables, including objects from the Automation Interface |
· | Use the Record & Analyze window to record a Sequence diagram of the script execution |

· | Breakpoints are not saved for scripts and will not persist when the script is next opened |
· | While debugging, script output is redirected to the Debug window |
