Display Filter 

Prerequisites

You have switched off the performance trace and have opened the display filter by choosing List trace from the initial screen of the Performance Trace.

Use

You can use the display filter ("Filter trace list") to restrict the number of logged trace records that are displayed on the basic list or extended list.

 

 

Features

If you do not enter any selections, all of the trace records are selected.

Enter the Name of the Trace File

The system initializes this parameter from the system environment. The current trace file is proposed by default. However, you can also specify a different filename. For further information, refer to Configuring the Trace File.

Specifying the Trace Type to Display

This parameter is also initialized from the system environment. The default trace type is SQL Trace. If you start the display filter directly after the recording, the trace type appears as it was last configured.

Specifying the Trace Interval

The default trace interval is from 00:00:00 to the current system time on today’s date. However, if you start the display filter directly after the recording, the trace interval is set from the starting time to the ending time of the recording.

Note that if you are working on a distributed system where the clocks on the database server and the application servers are not synchronized, any times determined automatically by the system may be inaccurate, which in turn may mean that not all trace records are displayed.
