Condition to determine the tracing system data for the diagnostic request on selecting a parent tracing system. For example, if two tracing systems A1 and A2 have the same parent tracing system called A. In a diagnostic request, if you select A as the tracing source, the condition determines whether to query data from A1 or A2.
