Abstract

An approach is provided for tracking the processing of electronic document data by network services. One or more network services receive, from a network device, such as a multi-function peripheral (MFP), electronic document data that represents one or more electronic documents. A trace network service determines whether tracing has been specified for the electronic document data. In response to determining that tracing has been specified for the electronic document data, the trace network service tracks the processing of the electronic document data by the one or more network services. The trace network service generates trace report data that indicates results of the processing of the electronic document data by the one or more network services. The trace network service also transmits the trace report data to one or more specified recipients.
