Manually Executing Scenarios

Because there are so many ways to run a scenario, and they are often specific to the Xpress Insight app, Xpress Workbench can also start a debug session without automatically executing the scenario. After starting the debug session, you must open Xpress Insight and run the scenario manually.

Complete the following steps to debug a scenario manually:

  1. Open the Xpress Insight sidebar, if it is not already open, by clicking its name.
  2. Expand the scenario tree and select the scenario you want to debug.
  3. Click the Debug button, which is the third button from the left within the sidebar.
  4. In the menu that appears, select Debug Scenario Manually.

    The app is published to Xpress Insight before the debug session starts.

  5. When you see the message Click to open Xpress Insight, click the link.

    If the message disappears before you click it, you can open Xpress Insight manually.

    Alternatively, you can right-click the scenario in the Xpress Insight sidebar and click Open in Xpress Insight in the menu that appears.

    A new browser tab opens showing the app in Xpress Insight, and the scenario appears on the shelf.
    Note You may need to log in to Xpress Insight before the app is opened.
  6. In Xpress Insight, execute the scenario. This could be done using the scenario menu or by using a button on a custom view.

    The scenario appears to be continually executing

  7. Switch back to Xpress Workbench.
  8. You can now debug the model as usual. See Debugging Models for more information.
    Note When a debug session has started and Xpress Workbench is waiting for the scenario to be executed, the debugger only attaches if the scenario is run by the same user who started the debug session. If another user logs into Xpress Insight and runs the scenario, the debugger does not attach.
