When you debug a User Task in your process, Designer displays a browser, prompts you to log into My webMethods Server, and then displays the Task List Management page, where you can mark the webMethods task as Completed. When this is done, process debugging resumes.

If a process contains a user task step that has not been implemented with a webMethods task, such that there is no Task ID available at run time, the Process Engine does not attempt to execute the step; instead, the empty task step is marked completed, just as empty steps of other types, and the process continues. This allows for greater iterative testing and debugging, since the task can be added and the process regenerated at any time during development.
