Selecting Simulation Paths and Properties

Add an endpoint reference address to simulate with.

You can modify certain BPEL elements to cause different simulation events to occur.

For example, you can change a data value in a receive message variable to cause a link transition to be true or false. You can also change sample data values for output and fault messages.

Similarly, you can update the value of correlation properties, if needed, and also update the address information for a partner link.

The following table lists the simulation property for each BPEL element that you can modify.

Activity	Simulation Property	Description
Receive	Input Message Input attachments	Set the instance data for the simulated message to receive
Pick	Execute	Select the onMessage or onAlarm branch to execute for simulation. You must select an option before you simulate a Pick.
onMessage branch of pick or onEvent Event Handler	Input Message	Set the instance data for the simulated message to receive
Invoke	Output Message Output attachments	Set the instance data for the simulated message to return
	Result	Set the result of the output message to Normal or Fault
	Fault Name	When the Result is set to Fault, you can select a Fault Name from the list. Fault names are defined in the associated WSDL file.
	Fault Message Fault Attachments	Set the instance data for the simulated Fault message.
	Subprocess	For details, see Selecting an Invoke Subprocess for Simulation.
Wait	Wait in Seconds	Actual wait time in seconds for simulation. The activity wait time can be longer than you want to wait during simulation. This is a way to shorten that time.
Partner Link	My Role and Partner Role	Endpoint reference address that is used in a dynamic assignment within a Copy operation

The following table lists the execution property for each BPEL element that you can modify. Note that the Execution properties are only available during simulation or remote debugging and do not normally appear in the Properties view.

Element	Execution Property	Description
Correlation Set	Correlation Set Data	Update the current value of the correlation property
Partner link	Address	Add or update address information for the partner link
