Viewing the relevant code section of an instance

Viewing the code level of a transaction instance enables you to pinpoint the code that might be behind recorded exceptions. BMC Application Diagnostics drills down to the code section relevant to the instance. The code section includes a complete stack trace of the exceptions. Each technology is represented by a different icon in the code tree.

To configure the information that is shown in the stack trace, see Modifying-an-Agent-policy-file. You will need to find the balance for your system, between collecting enough data to be useful and reducing the amount of data collected to help improve database performance.

To view the code section of a transaction instance

1. In the Captured Instances window, click a transaction name.
2. In the Business Transaction Details window, click the Code Level tab.
    The code section relevant to the instance is displayed.
3. Select a code tree node and click the header of the Details pane  at the bottom of the window.
    The Details pane presents method parameters and details. For exceptions, the complete stack trace is displayed.

If the instance has exceptions, the Exceptions pane is displayed on the left side of the window. To jump to the code section where an exception occurred, select an item in the pane.

For Java only, if the instance has latency violations, then the full stack is shown by default. Clear Show retrotraced methods to hide the methods.
