This information can be used to identify and troubleshoot any issues with the portal.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use Trace in SAP EP, users must first enable it in the portal's configuration settings. Once enabled, users can access Trace from the portal's main menu. From there, they can select which type of trace they want to run (e.g., page load time, memory usage, etc.) and then view the results.

  When using Trace in SAP EP, it is important to remember that it can only be used to track and analyze performance data for the current session. If you want to track performance over a longer period of time, you will need to use other tools such as SAP Solution Manager or SAP Performance Optimizer.
