How to Enable SAP GUI Logging?

This thread shows snippets of a log file:

How do I enable this log?

I have found lots of details about enabling print logging - is that the same?

Would like the registry keys for any and all logging that can be enabled.

THanks much!

That appears to be a how to on enabling "Scripting" not trace logging.

However, in section 2, step 3 of the procedure I see a menu choice "Trace"

Does anyone know if: a) that is what I am looking for, b) what registry key it correlates to?

My situation is this - I can't actually log in to SAP GUI - I am the packaging engineer responsible for getting an install package built and for resolving installation / integration problems.

So I'm not sure if I can get to the screens in the picture.  I can only start the SAP GUI Logon Pad.

If I had registry keys, I can install them on a user's machine and have them run the test with their login and grab the logs.

Hi Sanoy,

I think you need to enable SAP GUI trace for that.

In the SAP GUI Options dialog box on the "Trace" tab, activate the trace. You'll find the resulting *.trc files in your sapworkdir. You can view with normal text editor.

I would recommend you start with level 1 (errors) or 2 (errors & warnings) as with 3 (everything) you'll get too many (unnecessary) entries.

However there are few links that can be helpful for you.

Hope this helps you.
