Abstract
Embodiments relate to systems and methods for visualizing processing traces as a flow diagram. Certain embodiments allow conversion of a text based processing trace, into an intermediate state which can then be projected using a flow diagram. A model transformation engine receives as an input, a trace log and also a pointer to the trace metadata. The model transformation engine uses the metadata information to convert the trace into a format from which a flow diagram can be built. Such an intermediate state could be, for instance, an XML document or a JSON object. Output of the model transformation engine is then fed to renderer, which reads the XML document or JSON object and displays it onto the screen. Embodiments may be particularly suited for visualizing processing traces of business rules in an enterprise system.
