Abstract
This disclosure provides various implementations for supporting multiple system and application tracing. In one aspect, software can generate a globally unique identifier (GUID) for a first business process associated with a trace and transmit the GUID to a remote computer for association with a second business process related to the first business process. In another aspect, the software can identify a GUID for a trace that is executing for a first business process that is associated with a first application. The software can then associate the GUID with a second trace for a second business process related to the first business process, where the second business process is associated with a second heterogeneous application disparate from the first application. In some instances, the GUID may comprise a combination of a system identifier, a business process identifier, and a time identifier.
