Max Hits	Enter the maximum number of hits you want to see for the trace per node (agent or route).

Workflow Name	Enter the name of the workflow to which you want to apply a trace. If you want to use a regular expression, select the check box to the right. To remove this field, click the minus symbol.

Adding a Trace to an Agent

You can also add a trace to the APL code of an Analysis agent so that you can trace which functions change a UDR. To make this addition, you must modify the APL code in the relevant Analysis agent and specify the details in the trace template.

Add the following to the APL code:

trace(<udr>, "<string>");
