Hi Raj,

Based on your below message, I think you are trying to understand Server Side Tracing. :?:

Once you enable Server side tracing for troubleshooting, the performance will be affected. A message called "Respository Interface Tracing is enabled" message comes up when you connect to the project through the DS clients.

Server Side Tracing can be enabled on "TRACING" tab in the selected job properties. This is mainly used to trace the client problems. The complete flow of a job running from the server's perspective is stored in the Server Trace files.

You can view the Trace files in the same "TRACING" tab in the selected project properties after you execute the job.

Alternately the help could be referring to stage tracing.
This is enabled for one run only in Director, under Tools > Options (select the Tracing tab - and you can set different tracing levels for different active stages).
These trace files are in the &PH& directory on the server, and have names that include "Trace".
