Trace Function
Use
A trace function for configuration lets you trace the internal processing steps that the system makes when processing dependencies.
Features
You can start the trace function for the following objects:
- Single dependencies
- Constraints
- Tables and functions
- Dynamic database
Additional filter criteria:
- You can restrict the trace function for single dependencies to specific dependencies.
- You can restrict the trace function for the dynamic database to a given list of characteristics.
- You can restrict the trace function for tables and functions to a given list of tables or functions.
You can define the level of detail for your trace.
Activities
You activate the trace function in the configuration editor by choosing Extras
®
Trace
®
Activate.

For configuration simulations, you can start the trace on the initial screen.
- After each assigned value, you can display the dependencies that were processed by choosing Extras ®
Trace ®
Display.
Since the dependencies are reprocessed each time a value is assigned, you see the same dependency several times.
