You apply development monitoring to a specific business transaction and originating node combination. An originating node is one or more of the nodes that serve as the entry points for the transaction.

Transactions originating on an enabled node are subject to development level monitoring on downstream nodes that participate in processing that business transaction. Note that this applies for that business application only, however. Processing for a continuing transaction in another business application is not monitored at the development level unless you have enabled development level monitoring at the continuing business application as well.

While development monitoring increases the retention of call graphs and SQL statement capture, certain limits still apply. The limits specify maximum thresholds for calls per minute, Java heap utilization, and snapshot segments generated across the Controller. If the thresholds are exceeded, development level monitoring is turned off. See Development Level Monitoring Limits.
