Is it possible to add child tokens in subflows onto the parent token trace history?

Hi,

I have a process flow model where I want to trace how the tokens move in the process flow. For the main flow I just enable tracing and it works nicely. However, I would like to get the full path of the parent token including the paths that the child tokens have taken. Then I could get a nice full report of where the tokens have been and this would be helpful in debugging the process flow.

Is this possible in FlexSim somehow? Alternatively I could maybe add the trace history of the child to the parent token manually at each sub flow finish activity.

Thank you!

Kind regards,

Axel

Unfortunately there is no way to have the child's trace history be written to the parent, however, the trace history is written to a label on the token called 'traceHistory'. So yes, you could transfer that information from the children to the parent.

Hi @Matt Long

Thank you for the information! Will try this approach then.
