No data collected after activating trace in ST05

[Former Member]

Dear Gurus,

No data is getting collected after activating trace in ST05.

Are there any profile parameters to switch on the "Switch On trace functionality" in ST05?

Dear Juan,

rstr/max_diskspace parameter cannot be seen from RZ11

.trc files are not getting generated in /usr/sap/....../work

the trace file for ST05 as far as I can check on my own system is not a .trc its called TRACE (in capitals)

Forgot to mark as answered in my earlier reply so marking the same now

Simply the file could have been corrupted.

Happy to hear that is working fine now

Dear Juan,

I was not able to view any gathered data though the TRACE file was present. But after I renamed the TRACE file from /usr/sap/...../work, I am able to view the gathered data!!

Any suggestions on this behavior?

Nevertheless, since my problem is resolved, I am marking this question as resolved

Thanks again for your support and time

Well if the TRACE file exist, you should be able to display the file using the "Display trace" in ST05.

Thanks for your time Juan

There should be no problem in filters / scope as I have tried many multiple combination

I have checked the profile parameters as well. They are as mentioned below. But I was not able to find couple of below mentioned parameters in Instance profile

rstr/max_files 99

rstr/max_diskspace 99

rstr/max_lock_try 500

rstr/stacksize 10

I have even tried giving 777 to work directory

Any suggestions?

But I was not able to find couple of below mentioned parameters in Instance profile

If the value is set to default you won't find it on the profile, check in RZ11.

Also, you never told me if the TRACE file is been created

There is no error reported. When I click 'Display trace" it says that no trace exists to display

I do not have any dialogue server

Theres not enough info here to help you... if you are getting no data from the trace most likely is because what you're looking for is out of the scope of the trace or you are not using the filters correctly.

Are there any profile parameters to switch on the "Switch On trace functionality" in ST05?

ST05 -> Edit -> Display profile parameter for Trace

Additional to that when the trace is enables it should create a TRACE file in your instance work directory. So check if thats happening.

Hi,

Do you have Dialog instances on your system ?

ST05 is not a system wide transaction. You have to activate ST05 on the instance server on which the program you want to trace is running.
