    VVpackersYou can use the below methodology to start debugging your rule. I have read the below tip from this community.

    	1) Simplifying Log Message 
	
	Define a Boolean Constant LogSwitch

		Public Const LogSwitch As Boolean = True 
		
		True- To turn on logging for your business rule
		False - To turn off logging  for your business rule
		
		Use the below statement when writing a log 
		If LogSwitch = True Then brapi.ErrorLog.LogMessage(si, "My Workflow name is " &Workflow )


Also, To Log everything in a single string use the below format -

		Dim log As String = String.Empty
		
		'Append to “log” throughout business rule
		
		log += “Message 1” & VbCrLf   '<— VbCrLf is a .Net constant for “New Line”
		
		log += “Message 2” & VbCrLf 
		
		
		'At the very end of Business Rule I write the log variable to the ErrorLog.
BRApi.ErrorLog.LogMessage(si, log)

I use 

 

Sub Debug(si As SessionInfo, message As String)
	isTestOrQa = True
	If(isTestOrQa)Then BRApi.ErrorLog.LogMessage(si, message)
End Sub

Same for me except that since we're running it through our own debugging function I add as much useful info as I can (which would be a pain if repeating for every manual logmessage. For example, a better timestamp that allows sub-second sorting.
