Viewing data pages with the Tracer tool
To debug your application, view data pages (by your own requestor session) with the Tracer tool. The Tracer tool displays information about data pages, such as when a load activity starts and details about each reference to a data page.
For example, a weather application displays an error instead
of the current temperature. You run the Tracer tool to determine which data page is failing to
load the weather data. You can then tune the performance of the data page
accordingly.
