Abstract: Methods for managing telecommunication networks are disclosed herein and are implemented by a network node executing an atomic function in a distributed workflow. The network node receives input data for processing by the atomic function. If the input data does not include a use case indicator, the network node generates one. If the input data does include a use case indicator, the network node extracts that information from the input data. Regardless of whether the use case indicator is received or generated, however, network node employs the use case indicator to generate a trace record for the particular use case instance. The trace record is then sent to be correlated with other trace records generated for the use case by one or more other network nodes processing the use case in a distributed network flow.
