Select Trace for each business project to be traced. You can trace a single business project, selected business projects, or all business projects. Normally, you trace all business projects only in a development and testing environment.

If you trace a main business project, the system logs data that pertains to the main business project and all of its sub-business projects, including sub-business projects that the system adds dynamically at runtime. Tracing a sub-business project logs activity only for that sub-business project.

When you save the page, the selected business projects are traced. The system stores trace information in database tables rather than external files. This ensures that the information is available to all users.

Use the Business Project Monitor page (RC_BP_MONITOR) to view summary information about business projects that meet specified search criteria.
