Get to Know the Data Action Tracing
SAP Analytics Cloud data action tracing, or tracing for short, is a debugging tool whereby you can execute a data action and check its intermediate results at manually specified locations (called “tracepoints”) and data changes between tracepoints. Such an execution doesn't pause at tracepoints.
What can I do with the Data Action Tracing?
-
Set tracepoints to determine where to look at for intermediate results of a data action.
-
Run your data action in trace mode.
-
Check intermediate results at specific tracepoints and view data changes between tracepoints in a story-like table layout.
If a data action is run using the tracing tool, it means it is run in trace mode.
When you run tracing on a data action, all of its steps will be executed and the execution won't pause at tracepoints.
Based on insights from tracing, you can then proceed to edit or refine your data action to fix issues with your data action and allow it to work as you desire.
