OtfTraceWindow

The Trace Window detects the diagnostic communication and the variables changes at runtime and records them in a chronological sequence. The trace window consists of the "Communication" pane and the "Variable" pane.

In the "Communication" pane, each request and each response generate an entry including a timestamp, and detailed information.

In the "Variable" pane, at each change of a variable, a corresponding entry is generated including a timestamp, and detailed information.

The Trace window can record the communication and the changes of many execution times, or it can clear the recorded data from the previous execution when starting a new execution. You can adjust this behaviour via the button "Clear Trace" in the tab "Start" of the Ribbon.

The Trace is a tool window, so it can be docked, floating, opened, closed, resized or set to auto hide. When starting the OTF the first time, the Error List is already opened and docked under the Workflow Designer. You can open or close it via the "Trace Window" button in the Ribbon, see the image below.
