Printing online history traces (thread data)

You can print online history traces and export online windows mode views for offline review.

In previous exercises, you learned how to run a trace and view it online. However, depending on the results, you might want to have a hardcopy for further analysis. Batch reports can also be valuable tools during an application review meeting.
