Opening the Trace Data Source

Opening the source of trace data (execution data) allows you to see the source of the functions inside Zend Studio. This functionality allows you to pinpoint exactly where in the source the event is occurring. You may then edit the source inside of the corresponding local file.

Important Note:

To open the source of trace data you must first Import a Zend Server Event File for which the project already exists locally in your Zend Studio.
