Pace-Trace is a PeopleSoft developers' utility to view the contents of SQL trace files. With a spreadsheet-like grid summarizing the contents of the trace file, developers - truly anyone - can troubleshoot database-related problems much more quickly. Pace-Trace allows an interactive approach to problem solving. Developers can test, and then retest, any theory... and quickly see the actual changes made on subsequent calls to the database. Business analysts and other less technical users of PeopleSoft can also become more involved and learn more at the same time. With Pace-Trace, users can quickly learn more about the functioning of the application, and help solve database-related problems as well.
