Accessing the API trace log file

 

After you have set up the API trace tool, you can access the log file to begin troubleshooting. To access this log file...

  1. On the character-based interface, enter wrklnk ('home/user profile'), where user profile is the user profile's name.

  2. On the Work with Object Link dialog box, select Option 5 to display the contents of the trace.txt file stored in that directory.
This shows a portion of an example log file:
