Executing Processes

You can select to execute your process without intervention or by a step-by-step method. The method you choose depends on the following criteria:

If this is the first time you have executed your process, then you should run the process without intervention. You can see if your process steps are correctly defined and in the correct order for your application.
If you are debugging execution of a process, run the process with the step-by-step method. With Certify's debugging tools, you can follow the execution and determine where and why failures have occurred. For more information, see Running Processes Using Manual Mode.
