how to find out the source of an event trigger

[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

An event is starting a total of 5 jobs daily, I would like to find out how that event is triggered

I checked in ST13 for all the jobs that were running / finished just before those 5 jobs started but no luck - None of the job is matching for all the days

Checked in SM62 for event history, however it wont show the source of that event

Checked tables "BTCEVT*" - They doesn't even show how that event is called

Could you please assist?

Thanks,

Subbu

Hello Subbu,

please take a look at the note:

if it can help.

Hi Subbu,

You can try to trace the event using below transaction codes..

SWEL - Display Event Trace

SWELS - Switch Event Trace On/Off

SWE4 - Status Change Event Trace

RSWELOGD - Delete Event Trace

SWEM - Configure Event Trace

nice transactions, but to find the triggering action of an event in background processing system the tracing is have to be activated as described in the note 1645120. In the above transactions this information will not be displayed. If the event was triggered by the kernel program sapevt and from another system, then this note and also the transactions as above will not help.

Thank you Alwina - To edit the table and add entry I need to open the Production system.

I will let you know once I get the approval and perform this, thanks

Thanks,
