Abstract

The present invention relates to a method of displaying customising parameters of an application program, the customising parameters being stored in database tables, the method comprising: - execution of the application program, - acquisition of trace data during execution of the application program, the trace data comprising a path for each of the results provided by the application program, each path being descriptive of a sequence of database table entries of the database tables holding a sub-set of the customising parameters used for a calculation of the corresponding result, - displaying of the results, - interactively selecting one of the results for further analysis, - displaying the database table entries identified by the path of the selected one of the results.

Claims (12)

1. A data processing system comprising:

- means (114) for storing database tables holding customising parameters for customising an application program (104), - means (110) for execution of the application program, - means (110) for execution of a trace program (106), - means (110) for execution of an analytical program (108), - means (116) for storing a set of results provided by the application program, - means (118) for storing trace data acquired by the trace program during execution of the application program, the trace data comprising a path for each of the results, each path being descriptive of a sequence of database table entries of the database tables holding a sub-set of the customising parameters used for calculation of the corresponding result, - means for displaying the results on a user interface, wherein the analytical program is operable to (a) receive a users selection of one of the results being displayed on the user interface, (b) display sequentially the database table entries identified by the path of the selected one of the results.
2. The data processing system of claim 1, further comprising means (120) for storing explanatory text strings assigned to the database table entries, the analytical program being operable to display one of the text strings assigned to a displayed database table entry.
3. The data processing system of claim 1 or 2, further comprising graphical user interface means (102) for a users navigation along the path.
4. The data processing system of claim 1, 2 or 3, the analytical program being adapted for entering of a user's modification of a displayed database table entry.
5. A method of displaying customising parameters of an application program, the customising parameters being stored in database tables, the method comprising:

- execution of the application program, - acquisition of trace data during execution of the application program, the trace data comprising a path for each of the results provided by the application program, each path being descriptive of a sequence of database table entries of the database tables holding a sub-set of the customising parameters used for a calculation of the corresponding result, - displaying of the results, - interactively selecting one of the results for further analysis, - displaying the database table entries identified by the path of the selected one of the results.
6. The method of claim 5, further comprising the steps of:
- retrieving an explanatory text string assigned to a database table entry to be displayed, - displaying the text string together with the database table entry.
7. The method of claim 5 or 6, further comprising navigation along the path.
8. The method of claim 5, 6 or 7, further comprising entering of a modification of the displayed database table entry.
9. A computer program product comprising - trace program instructions for acquisition of trace data during execution of an application program, the trace data comprising a path for each of the results provided by the application program, each path being descriptive of a sequence of database table entries of database tables holding a sub-set of customising parameters of the application program used for calculation of the corresponding result, - display program instructions for displaying the results on a user interface, - interface instructions for receiving a user selection of one of the results being displayed and for sequentially displaying the database table entries identified by the path of the selected one of the results.
10. The computer program product of claim 9, further comprising program instructions for retrieving of an explanatory text string assigned to a database table entry to be displayed.
11. The computer program product of claim 9 or 10, further comprising graphical user interface instructions to enable a users navigation along the path.
12. The computer program product of claim 9, 10 or 11, further comprising instructions for entering of a users modification of the displayed database table entry.
