There are 2 options under this option, Loading components and Display components. These options are useful for very large trace files where all or many of the components were active. Loading components lets you choose which components are loaded in the file; Display components lets you further limit the display. The Display components are part of the loading components. By default, the loading components are displayed.

Caution

After the trace files have been reset, the information contained in them is lost and cannot be retrieved.
