I hope there will be many more people to contribute in the future. ## FAQ ### How can I activate InlineTrace? Run a message with trace activated. You see the message in the message sidebar. Click on the button with the time for the specific message. If trace is available, items which processed the message change color. You can click on integration flow elements to see the trace message before this step. ### How long is the trace available? SAP deletes trace messages after a while. Trace messages normally do not live longer than 1 hour.
