It's an interesting approach, and I must say I'd be just as happy not to see that extra baggage from other products that clutters dumps and makes one wonder if it really, truly, doesn't change anything in the environment my code runs in. Are there Programming Interfaces to reading/scraping this trace table data? In my experience, access to the trace data is something that has broken more often than anything else when there is an IPCS to system level mismatch. I assume for your sort of product you would need access on the live system with reasonable performance, rather than post processing through IPCS.
