If you search for an event that has a 3-byte hashed address, you will only find those events with the
same 3-byte address. TraceView will not find events with the 8-byte value, as there is no way to
determine the full 8-byte address from the 3-byte hashed address.
A conversion tool is included to translate 8-byte World Wide Names to their 3-byte hashed value.

Bookmarks
Bookmarks are powerful tools for locating information in a trace. Use them to mark event times
you want to track or compare to other events, or events you want to return to over and over again.
Bookmarking adds a tag to the event structures at that specific point in time. Bookmarks are
referenced in many other operations, such as finds, searches, and navigation to a specific
timestamp. Bookmark information is embedded within the trace file. Therefore, you will see
bookmarks even if you look at the data using a different Xgig TraceView configuration.
The Bookmark Event pull-down menu in the Xgig TraceView toolbar contains all bookmarks.
Selecting a bookmark from the menu takes you to that line in the trace.
Managing and Editing Bookmarks
A tool is available for viewing and managing all bookmarks from a list. Bookmarks may be
modified or deleted. You can also add a descriptive comment about the bookmark. Select
