To run a performance trace:
If the Performance Trace link does not appear in the Universal Navigation Header, click Sign out to sign off the system, and then clear the browser's cache (remove temporary Internet files).
Note: Clearing browser cache varies depending on which supported browser you use. Refer to your browser's documentation for details.
Sign on to the PeopleSoft system.
Navigate to the page where you want to begin the performance trace.
Click the Performance Trace link, which is located in the Universal Navigation Header.
This launches the Performance Trace Console.
In the Performance Trace Name edit box, enter a name to identify the trace results.
Remember the name that you enter because you need to enter this name in the search criteria when you intend to view the trace results. You can accept the default name, if one appears.
In the Filter Level group box, set the filter level options.
You have the following options:
