How to tell who is running traces (ST01)

Hey guru's I am all over ST01 but was wondering if there is a way to tell who else besides myself is running traces?

Thanks,

Len.

Hi,

Please check the Analysis option button in ST01. This gives the list of users where the trace is active based on time and date.

Hi Leonard,

If you just want to know who else besides you is at ST01, you can use tCode SM04 - view all logged on users. Double click at a record to see all tCodes are being used by that user.

Hope it helps. Cheers!

Thanks but going thru SM04 to find 1 T-code would be like doing an upgrade without the GUI!

Plus it only gives you who is doing that transaction current.  The other reply I got doesn't apply either as I have looked/used that previous. It doesn't keep history (unless your not deleting traces) by user but all traces.  If I have a number of traces I have to look thru a lot to find user.

I want to know if there is somewhere (even if not in ST01) that would have a list by username of those that ran ST01.

Thanks.

Hello,

They can be found at system level. Not sure if you cna check there at user level. May be some UNIX commands can help.

You should find the trace files in the following Directory/Folder:
<Drive>:\usr\sap\<SID>\DVEBMGS##\log\
or /usr/sap/<SID>/DVBMGS##/log/

SID is system id of your SAP system. ## represents the number like 01, 02 etc

try by using the find command ..The files will be like this TRACE00, TRACE01.... TRACE04
find / -name TRACE01

I thought of that but at the OS level it only shows the SID owner name.  prdadm:sapsys

All traces created in system (ST01) have the associated SID id. 

I am still looking.

Thanks,
