  Restart after error   Yes / No  

You can specify whether a process should be restarted automatically after an error has occurred. The default is Yes.

  Trace   Active Components  

You can specify which kernel components write trace information to the trace file and the trace level for logging (0: No trace, 1: Trace errors, 2: Complete trace, 3: Complete trace with buffers). Only the task handler component is set as the active default, and the trace level is 1.

  Trace   Display Settings  

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 a subset of the loading components. By default, the loading components are displayed.

  Trace   Display File  

This displays the trace file for a selected work process.

  Trace   Save File Locally  

With this function you can download one or more trace files to your local PC.

  Trace   Reset  

You can reset the trace files here: You can choose whether to reset all files or only work process files. All files mean all dev* files on this server. They include the traces from the gateway, dispatcher, ICM, RFC, and so on, as well as the work process traces.

Caution Caution

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

End of the caution.

  Trace   Dispatcher  

Here you can set the trace level for the trace file of the dispatcher dev_disp, view the file, or save it locally.
