Breakpoint for Process Flow activities

Breakpoint for Process Flow activities

In my opinion, it would be great if we could stop the simulation when a token enters specifed activites (by activating a specific checkbox on the activities, for example).

It would be easier to check the operation of a specific part of the process.

Yes, great idea! We work around it now by adding a Delay and putting a breakpoint on that, but adding and removing that activity (while keeping any connectors in the right order) is a bit more work than just putting a breakpoint 'on' the activity you are interested in. Bonus points for a Condition field a la Visual Studio (getlabel(token, "OrderId") == 2372) 🙂

This has been on our development list since Process Flow version 1.0. It's a difficult problem which is why it hasn't been added it. With the improvements to the flexscript compiler and a completely revamped debugger for FlexSim 2017 it should now be possible to implement this. So you can expect this feature in one of the 2017 releases.

This feature has been added in FlexSim 24.2 released yesterday. Thank you for your input!
