Set General Startup Preferences for Diagram Trace Utility

You can set the general startup preferences for the Diagram Trace Utility through the Diagram Trace Preferences page.

Follow these steps:

1. Select Preferences from the Window menu.

   The Preferences dialog appears.

   

2. Change the default settings for the following fields to suit your needs:

   Listen on Port(s)

   Lets you change the default port number. You can add one or more port numbers separated by commas, spaces, or tabs if you want to configure multiple ports for tracing multiple applications concurrently. Multiple port numbers must contain only numbers 0 through 9.

   Note: Concurrent debug sessions can use the same port number or separate port numbers. There is no limit to the number of concurrent debug sessions that can be active at one time. However, system resources will determine the practical limit.

   Default: 4567
   Limits: Numeric value

   Prestart Diagram Trace

   Starts a debug session automatically when the Diagram Trace Utility is started.

   Default: On

   Hide Non-Active Group View Rows

   Hides the display of non-active group view rows.

   Default: On

   Expand Repeating Group values

   Specifies how Variables view expands repeating group values.

   The options are:

   • Depth First—Drills down into individual instances as records.
   • Breadth First—Drills down through occurrences until it reaches the bottom attributes and displays them as arrays of values instead of record fields.

   Default: Depth First

   Suspend on initial entry

   Suspends the application execution whenever an Action Diagram is first entered.

   Default: On

   Enable detailed log messages in Console

   Enables the display of detailed messages for standard input, output, and error messages logged in the Console view.

   Default: Off

   Limit console output

   Limits the console buffer size to the value specified in the Console buffer size (characters) field.

   Default: 40000

   Limits: Integer between 1000 and 1000000

3. Click OK.

   The Diagram Trace Utility saves the changes and closes the Preferences dialog. The changes are used in all succeeding debug sessions unless you change the preferences again.

Note: You can restore the default configuration settings anytime on the Diagram Trace Preferences dialog. To restore the default settings, click Restore Defaults, click Apply, and then click OK.
