Buffer trace for more than 5 defined tables possible?

[Former Member]

Hello!

With ST05 you can switch on a buffer trace. Using 'trace on for user' makes it possible to activate the trace for a defined number of tables. The number of tables is limmited to 5.

I would like to trace 100 tables. Is it possible to extend this formula. Is it possible to do this with one trace at one time?

Thanks,

Hi Holger ,

This is the limitation. However you can use generic names to include / exclude like DD* ot T*.

The only other option is to activate trace for a bigger list of tables ( if possible restrict by generic names ) and only analyze the desired 100 ones. While dipalying trace you have very good option to filter out .

Cheers.

Hi Holger!

You can, but you don't need to restrict the trace to specific tables.

So one option: just don't filter any tables and ignore the additional lines later in trace analysis.

Other option: use wildcards (e.g. MAR* for MARA; MARC; MARD tables)

If some tables are blowing up your trace, but aren't any performance problem -> use the exclude part.

Also a restriction to a special program can restrict the tables without using the tables filter explicit.

Also a filter in trace display can restrict the results - but it's still using more memory and time.
