Hi Danial,

For portal traces we need to active the ADC (Activate Data Collector)

System Administration u2013>System Configuration u2013>Service Configuration -->u2013>Applications u2013>u2013>activitydatacollectorcom.sap.portal.Services u2013>

Open the DataCollectionHook for editing

Change the property u201CActivate Data Collectionu201D from u201Cfalseu201D (default) to u201Ctrueu201D to make sure that the ADC service will be started.

All the activity trace files are written at below location.

/usr/sap/<SID>/J[C]<instance_#>/j2ee/cluster/server<number>/portalActivityTraces

Please check and revert me if you need any other clearifications.

If you need it for security related tracing, like authorizations, authentications, etc. you can use diagtool which is an excellent tool.

Follow SAP Note Note 1045019 - Web diagtool for collecting traces

Deploy diagtool SCA (very small file) on the system. Start collection of traces. Ask user to do the task you want to trace and then stop the collection. Download the traces from right there.

Is your requirement something like this?

Hello

You can trace the user in SQL trace tool.
