      • true appears when the call chain is recorded during the next occurrence of the URL.

    Result

    A call chain register is created that designates that the next occurrence of the transaction URL should be persisted with all of its call chain information.
    Note:
    Once the call chain is recorded (true appears in the Recorded field), you can view it in the Transaction Call Chain Register form itself. To learn more about transaction call chains, see Review a transaction call chain.
