You need Google Chrome to install this plugin. I tested it with version 80. I assume that older versions will work too. There are two options to install this plugin:
Just add the plugin in the Chrome Web Store.
This is probably the easiest way. Updates will be installed automatically.
Please note: there was an old Chrome Store entry that is not updated anymore. If you installed the plugin before 21 March 2020, you have to uninstall and install again with the link above.
If you know what you are doing, you can install the plugin directly from sources. Clone the repo and add the folder directly to Google Chrome
- Download or clone the repo from github. Unpack if necessary.
- In Google Chrome, Navigate to Settings – > Extensions
- Enable Developer Mode (slider on the top-right)
- Click: "Load Unpacked Extension" and select the folder with the plugin data
Attention: If you installed the plugin from Chrome Store before 21 March 2020, please uninstall and install again with the link on the top. Chrome updates extensions that are installed from the Chrome Web Store automatically. If you installed the plugin from sources: Please replace the folder with the new version on your disk. After that you must delete and add the plugin in Chrome Browser. If you have cloned the repository, pull new data. Than delete and add the plugin in Chrome. Restart Chrome.
If you open an Integration Flow, the plugin will automatically add a "Messages", a "Trace" and a "Info" button in the Integration-Flow-Designer.
The "Message" button opens a small dragable sidebar with the last processed messages. You can jump directly to infos and traces of the message run. If you hover status icon of message, you will see a pop-up with the error message directly. If you click on the time button,InlineTrace is activated (Only when trace was activated for message). If you click on a color coded integration flow item and trace is available, a pop-up opens with the trace of the message at this point.
The "Trace buttons" sets the loglevel of the current Iflow to trace.
The "Info"-Button lets you see detailed informations of the deployment state of your Integration Flow.
The button of the plugin in the toolbar gives you a list of useful links of you current tenant. It includes last visited Integration Flows.

On the message sidebar, press the time-button next to the status icon of a processed message. If run steps exist, the elements of the Integration Flow will change colors accordingly. This will give you a quick overview over the run.
- Blue elements are successfully processed steps
- Red elements are elements with errors. SAP does not provide good information about errors. So when an error at a Splitter-Element occurs, this does not have to mean that the error occured here. It can also be a catched error from elements after the Splitter.
Run steps exists for processed messages with trace and for a short time in processed messages with errors.
If you activated the Inline Trace feature, you can get more details. Traces only exist for processed messages with loglevel trace and will be deleted after round about 1 hour by SAP.
Run a message with trace activated. You see the message in the message sidebar. Click on the button with the time for the specific message. If trace is available, items which processed the message change color. You can click on integration flow elements to see the trace message before this step.
SAP deletes trace messages after a while. Trace messages normally do not live longer than 1 hour.
See Contribution guidelines for this project if you want to take part in this project. As I am a beginner myself, beginners are welcome.
- Change tab name to tenant name to better differentiate between different tenants
- Inject data from trace in the simulation function

Many thanks to ConVista Consulting AG in Cologne, Germany. They supported this idea from the beginning and contributed time and ressources for me to start this project.
