Displaying the MAIN SEQUENCE when running / calling a SubSequence (callsequence)

[TimoS]

when i run a CallSequence Step in my sequence, the display views the content of the subsequence.

how can display the the MainSequence all execution time?

Hi TimoS,

If you open the sequencecall properties and select "disable tracing in sequence" under the "sequence call trace setting" that should do it for you.

Hope this helps,

Timo,

There are two ways you can do this.

The first way is disabling tracing.

Execute->Disable Tracing.

When Tracing is in effect , the sequence editor or operator interface  application displays each step as it executes.

This is useful when debugging but adds significant performance overhead to the execution of your test programs.

If you do not want to disable tracing for all the steps in your sequence file, you can disable tracing for a sequence call step.

1. Select the sequence file step and from its context menu click properties.

2. Go to the 'Run Options' tab.

3. Go to the 'Sequence Call Trace Setting'.

4.Select Disable Tracing in sequence.

Hope it helps.

Antonio Lie.

There is one other way, simliar to what has already been mentioned.  I wanted a way to trace through the main sequence but not the subsequences.  You could open EACH step individually and change the trace properties or add the following statment to the SequenceFilePreStep (engine callback):

Precondition=PropertyExists("Parameters.Step.TS.SData.Trace")

Parameters.Step.TS.SData.Trace="Off"

To make your application you could set this up to reference a fileglobal such as

Parameters.Step.TS.SData.Trace = FileGlobals.DebugTrace

where DebugTrace is equal to "On" or "Off"
