3.4.9 Clearing a trace file

You can clear a trace file selected in the Script Trace Viewer window or displayed in a Trace Files Display window. This operation reduces the file to zero size.

To clear a trace file:

1. In the client area of the Script Trace Viewer window, select one or more trace files that you want to clear. Alternatively, make sure the trace file(s) you want to clear are currently displayed in Trace Files Display windows.

   

2. Choose Edit, Clear Trace File.

   The Confirmation dialog box appears.

   

   For details about using this dialog box, see 4.3.2 Confirmation (clear trace file) dialog box.

3. Click the Yes button.

   One trace file is cleared.

   

   If you selected more than one trace file, you are asked to confirm that you want to clear the next file.

   This process is repeated for all the trace files you selected. When all the files have been cleared, the dialog box closes.

Notes

• If you click Yes to All in step 3, all the selected files are cleared.

• If you click Cancel in step 3, the operation is canceled and the dialog box closes.
