How to Debug Custom Workflow in Dynamics CE?

At times when code is having bugs or issues, we go for debugging to check out where exactly is the issue. The debugging process for Custom Workflow is a bit different from the plugin debugging process. So, let us start with the steps.

Step 1:
Run Registration tool > Click and install profile installer

Step 2:
Click on Profile Workflow > Find and select the triggering OOB Workflow > Click Ok

Workflow is ready to be profiled/debug

Step 3:
Trigger the workflow. In my case the triggering point is “On Create of Account”

Step 4:
Select the custom workflow assembly > Click debug > add details

Profile: A log will be created using the trigger point and add that log to the tool.

Assembly location: Browse to the custom workflow DLL and add it to the tool.

Step 5:
Click Attach Process > Find Registration tool > Ok

Step 6:
Click Start Execution.

Bam! We have successfully executed the Custom Workflow debugging process.

Step 7:
Ones done with debugging remember to uninstall the profiler.
