Using the End-to-End (E2E) Trace Function

The E2E Trace is used to create a XML file that traces the communication to a different part of your SAPUI5 application.

To start the E2E Trace, proceed as follows:

Select the detail level from the Trace Level drop-down list.
Tap Start.
Navigate to a different part of the application.

As a result, a dialog opens indicating that your transaction has finished. Tap OK to continue running the current trace. Tap Cancel to stop the trace and display the result in a new window.

After stopping the trace, you can view the result and (optionally) upload it to a server by entering a host name and a port number, and then tapping Submit.

Note The result of the last completed trace will also be visible in the XML Output field when you open the Technical Information dialog again.
