Simulating Execution of a BPEL Process

After designing but before deploying a BPEL process to a server, you can simulate execution in the Process Developer.

To simulate, you must have a valid process, and you must supply certain input and output sample data values to simulate data that a running process would normally receive and send.

Ensure you are ready to simulate execution of your process. See Prerequisites for Simulation. You can start simulation from either the Process Developer or the Debug perspective.
