[Former Member]

Hi All:

Good day.I have profile parameters activated for ST01 and when I run the ST01 trace I get the message "no records found"

I have checked and rechecked and I am sure I am doing the steps correctly.Please help.

Thanks

Hi,

Are you running the trace on the same app server as the activities being traced?

Also, check the times for the report output. Our system has a nasty little habit of narrowing the time frame.

Are you using Logon Timezones? (most of the time, the app server is the misunderstanding though).

You need to tun on the trace only on the app server in which user to be traced logged in

Unless the call is load balanced. For example of you start webdynpro applications from SAPgui transactions, these are started via the message server and load balanced.

Any other application which targets a server to process something in the background might specify the host name for the processing.

From a trouble shooting perspective, bigger is easier.

Also because TEST / QAS systems typically have one app server, this means that good testing quality makes your life easier in loadbalanced PROD!!

Cheers,

Julius

Hi,

When you are running system trace,

Select the application server where the activity has to be preformed.

Select the trace components and switch on the trace.

Get the correct filters (Process no, user, transaction, prog) and the time readings.

And while analysis give the correct inputs (user name, client, from and to timings).

Switch off the trace when the activity is finished.

Hi Jim,

I think you are not running the trace on the same application server that the user is logged in .

First see the application server on which the user is logging in , switch to that application server and runa trace.

To swtich the application server go to SM51, and select the appropriate application server and double click on the appl server .

Then a new session will open on that application server where you can run trace.
