ST01 report returns 0 record

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I'm using TCode ST01 to trace authorization. I follow steps as below:

1. Open two sessions

2. Execute transaction ST01 in one of the sessions. Select the authorization checkbox. Click the 'Trace On' button

3. Within the other session, execute several transactions to trace

4. Return to the 1st session, click 'Trace Off', click 'Analysis' button. Enter appropriate data into selection screen such as Username, type of trace records (i.e. Authorization check). Click Execute button.

But the report returns "0 Records read" and the status bar shows "End of trace files reached." even though I always find out that the TRACE file's size is increased.

Looking to Error log, an error message shows that action "Rename Trace File" made error "No such file or directory".

Any clue for the reason?

Thanks,

Toan Do

Hi Toan,

It should be timezone issue. Please check.

Please make sure the logoned user who perform the ST01 transaction

have the same timezone with system timezone.

1. Go to t-code SU01 -> User Id -> Default -> Personal timezone of the User and check the timezone

2. Use t-code stzac to check the system timezone.

3. stop the system and manually delete or rename the file

/usr/sap/<SID>/<instance>/log/TRACE

and restart the system to eliminate the possibilities of corrupted trace.

Hi Vincent,

Thanks. That's because of timezone. ST01's timezone depends on timezone of the user run it.
