In Siebel we work with workflows all the time. During the development of the workflow we can simulate it to test it. But once the workflow is deployed we cannot use simulation to test the workflow
If you thought the only way to test it is to go through the whole functionality that will result in triggering of workflow. You were wrong 
There is another way by which you can test the workflow that is by using Business Service Simulator. Here is a link to video tutorial that will help you learn to execute the workflow without going through the functionality
In this video tutorial I am going to execute the workflow name SIO Inbound JMS Message Dispatcher. I will pass three input arguments to workflow but only one is a required argument.
ProcessName is the required argument which will tell which workflow to execute. Rest of the input arguments are optional and only passed if you need them.
One thing to not is that name of the input argument should be same as name of the process properties defined in workflow otherwise the values will not be passed to the workflow. In the video I am passing values to two process properties Test Mode and JMSType. Name of process properties is case sensitive.
Note: In case if you workflow is calling a Business Service which is working on ActiveBusObject, ActiveViewName or using the keyword this then you cannot use simulator to execute it
