Viewing a transaction trace

Each transaction might comprise several messages.

In the Transaction Trace panel, each line in the table represents a single message. The type of message is indicated by the code in the Type column. Codes from input messages from the client begin with the greater than (>) symbol. Codes for output messages to the client begin with the less than (<) symbol.

(PTFs BQQ3969 and BQQ3973 applied)

In the Transaction Trace panel, you can modify the Start Date Time field to start your transaction trace search from a different date and time. Also, the Records Count field allows you to enter a value from 1 through 9999 to indicate the maximum number of transaction trace entries to process.
