The next time you execute that map, the trace file is created.
If you ran a map and got a message that an input was invalid, turn on the input
trace only. If you got a message that an output was invalid, turn on the output
trace only. If you trace both input and output, the input messages are at the
beginning of the file, followed by the output messages.
Viewing the Trace File
After you execute a map, you can view the trace file on the Trace tab in the
organizer window.
A trace file of input messages contains a message for each input data object. A
message describes the level of the object in the card, the offset of the data object
in the data stream, the length of the data object, its component number, the
index of the component, a portion of the actual data, and the name of the type to
which it presumably belongs.
In the trace file, the symbol \r indicates a carriage return. The symbol \n
indicates a linefeed.
Note The DI number and X number are not used for debugging purposes and may be
ignored.
