How to Debug Maps

  • Article

The Debug Map feature is useful in identifying and fixing complex mapping issues. This topic provides step-by-step instructions for debugging maps using the inline XSLT debugger.

Note

When debugging the map, the Debug Map feature uses the map file properties TestMap Input Instance and TestMap Output Instance. Therefore, before you debug the map, we recommend that you configure the input and output instance properties in the map file.

To debug a BizTalk map

  1. In Solution Explorer, right-click the map you want to test, and then click Debug Map. Visual Studio displays the map in XSLT format in its editor.

  2. Press F10 or F11 to debug the XSL code. When you press F11 on a functoid call, Visual Studio steps into the C# code for the functoid. You can view the values of variables used in the functoid source code in the Local Windows Debugger.
