Automatically Saving or Restoring the Pipeline at Run Time
Use the Pipeline debug property to save or restore the pipeline for a flow service at run time. The ability to save and restore the pipeline is especially useful when you are testing and debugging the service.
If you set
Pipeline debug to
Save,
Integration Server saves the entire contents of the pipeline to a file just before the service executes. You can use the data in the saved pipeline file to debug and troubleshoot the service or to restore the pipeline. For more information about debugging and troubleshooting services, see
Saving and Restoring the Flow Service
Pipeline while Debugging.
You can use the Pipeline debug property to specify that Integration Server restore the pipeline for the service automatically at run time. When you restore the service pipeline using this property, Integration Server either merges or overwrites the pipeline using the contents from a previously saved pipeline file.
Restoring the service pipeline is useful when debugging or troubleshooting the service or you just want to inspect the values of the pipeline file. For more information about debugging and troubleshooting services, see
Saving and Restoring the Flow Service
Pipeline while Debugging.
Important:
The pipeline debug options you select can be overwritten at run time by the value of the watt.server.pipeline.processor property set in the server configuration file. This property globally enables or disables the Pipeline debug settings. The default enables the Pipeline debug feature on a service-by-service basis. For more information on setting properties in the server configuration file, see webMethods Integration Server Administrator’s Guide.
