Documentation
How to record script execution with fmTrace and read the result in the viewer.
fmTrace has two halves. The plug-in records what FileMaker Pro does; the viewer draws it. These pages cover both, plus the file format that connects them and the one limit worth knowing about.
Recording
Starting and stopping a recording, what gets captured, and where the file lands.
The viewer
Reading the timeline: zooming, picking scripts, and inspecting values, flow and errors.
.fmtrace files
What a recording contains, and what to keep in mind before sharing one.
Script History
Browsing how the scripts in a database changed over time.
Limits
How big a recording can get before the viewer gets sluggish, and what to do about it.
