Explanation of the trace options:
Number of neighbors per module
Logs the number of associated documents found by a function module for
the outbound documentation from table ASHGETS. This is logged only if at
least one associated document was found.
Call all ASGETS modules
Logs calls of all function modules from table ASHGETS.
Aging status
This option is visible only if DataAging is active in the system.
Checks on the DataAging status and temperature changes are logged.
Call origin determination

Call object text
Logs the function modules used to determine the object text (TYPETEXT).
Call formatting
Logs the function modules used to format the object text (OFORMAT).
Save the log
If enabled, this option saves the log in the application log too (where
it can be queried under object DRB and subobject TRACE) and does not
just preserve it temporarily (as displayed by choosing Goto and Display
Log in DRB).
Number of traces
This number specifies how many times DRB is called before the trace is
disabled again.
