M10.07 - Testing and deploying the workflow
Now that you’ve finished configuring your workflow, it’s time to bring it to life. In this video, we’ll walk through how to run the process, debug any issues that come up, and publish the final version—all within UiPath Maestro. Let’s take a look.
Key concepts:
Breakpoints
Breakpoints let you pause execution on specific BPMN elements so you can inspect variables and understand what’s happening at key points in the workflow. To add one, right click an element and choose Add Breakpoint, then use Next Step or Continue during debugging to move through the process. This makes it easier to identify issues as they occur.
Currently, breakpoints can only be added while the workflow is running.
Execution Trail & Debug Insights
During debugging, the Execution Trail and Global Variables panels give you a clear, step by step view of how the workflow is running and how data changes along the way. You can inspect variable values at each stage and even modify them while the process is paused to explore different branches or test alternate scenarios. This makes it easier to understand behaviour, validate logic, and pinpoint issues as they occur.
Deploying and Upgrading Processes
After you publish a process, you can deploy it through Orchestrator by selecting the version, entry point, and environment where it should run. When a new version is published later, Maestro allows you to upgrade existing deployments with just a few clicks, ensuring your workflows stay current without disrupting ongoing operations.
If you want this to sound more formal, more concise, or more instructional, I can reshape it.
Role Based Permissions
To publish or upgrade processes, you need the appropriate access rights in Orchestrator. This typically includes roles such as Automation Publisher or Folder Administrator, along with the required package related permissions. Having the correct roles ensures you can manage deployments and updates without interruption.
