Trace analysis When you encounter bugs or errors in an application, you need to analyze where and why the error occurs to be able to fix the bug in the architect. It can help to enable the “trace analysis” in your application. This allows you for example to see which process is executed when, what …

Is there a way to only see rows that are performed by a certain user, for example yourself or a webservice user? It’s sometimes very hard to trace something when 5 people are clicking in the application for example.

Good question, but no, unfortunately there is no way to filter traces based on the user. The only workaround right now is to ask your colleagues to stop clicking while executing step 4. I suggest that you add a service request for your idea for the platform team.

Hi Joachim, I used the process switch. But no error in the trace. So now I checked the process in Architect and compared it with the trace. Trace just stopped after plugin duplicatetreeaction couldn’t perform a duplicate of nothing. No error. [image]

It can happen indeed that a trace stops abruptly due to a plugin error. In that case, no error message is shown. In the case from your screenshot, I think that the “duplicatetreeaction” does not handle NULL inputs properly. I will write a ticket for our plugin devs to properly handle this error case…
