Using SmartTrace › Save a Trace

Save a Trace

A trace can be in one of the following states:

• Running

  The trace is currently active.

• Ended

  The trace has stopped.

• Saved

  The Trace is saved to IPFILE.

  Important! A trace expires after a period. Also, when a trace is Running or Ended, the trace is deleted if SOLVE SSI terminates. If you want to retain a trace, you must save it.
