2.386 .tracing

This attribute defines whether the tracing shall be carried out completely or not.

.tracing is only active if the command line option -IDMtracefile has been given. Thus, you can only limit the tracing if a trace file is created at all.

Warning

This attribute should only be used temporarily and carefully!

.tracing is meant to ensure that for example passwords which are passed on by the Dialog Manager to the application functions, do not appear in the trace file.
