No records found in ST01 trace

[former_member183044]

Hi all,

When i am running the trace in ST01, no records option is popping up.

Upto last week it was working fine, suddenly trace is not getting detected.

Kindly help in this situation.

Dear Praveen.

Do you use several application servers?

You have to be on the same application server like the user logging.

Hi all,

I got the solution.

While activating the trace i have to give the full day and time. Means i have t give the details in the following way.

From - the particular date / Time - 00:00:00

To - the particular date / Time - 23:59:59

If we give the above inputs, the trace will work. But just one week before there were no situations like this.

But now it is only working like this. I am wondering how this happened?

Hi Praveen,

It can be done by ST01 --> Administration (Shift+F7) in the next screen adjust below two parameters

I guess max file size is 100 mb that is allowed.

Also, more the big size more time it takes to read the file and you may also receive memory dumps while retrieving the trace data.

Prithviraj,

The above is the adminsistration part of my system. It also tells that maximum is 16 mb. Should i increase that to how much?

Hi Praveen,

There is no thumb rule of setting the file size. But if it is production system than 30-40 mb file is more than enough.

You need to also take the side effects of increasing the file size into consideration. (mentioned in my earlier response)

Also, I guess you will need to restart the system to bring the change into effect.

Hi Praveen,

Did someone else activated the trace in the meantime? There can be a situation that the trace you're trying to look at was overwritten by the last activated trace.

If yes, you can go to administration section in ST01 (Shift+F7) to increase file size and count.

Prithviraj,

I just now increased the Max no of records to 100000. Still the same message is appearing.

Hello Praveen

If possible, try to use ST12 instead of ST01, check if the outcome is different and you improve stability.

Hi Mario,

It is showing that ST12 doesnot exist.

which version of SAP are you running?

thanks

ECC 6.0 SR3

I recommend you to install it

Transaction ST12 is available as of basis release 4.6B. It is delivered via the addon ST-A/PI. The ST-A/PI version should be 01F* or higher.

Check SAP notes (to have ST12 in your system);

755977 - ST12 "ABAP Trace for SAP EarlyWatch/GoingLive"

69455 - Servicetools for Applications ST-A/PI (ST14, RTCCTOOL, ST12)

and to use ST12 you can see some blogs such as; https://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/ABAP/Single+Transaction+Analysis https://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/SAPSQL/Do+you+want+to+know+where+time+is+spent+by+a+program+%3...

Its a very useful transaction

HI Praveen,

probably it is something as explained in SAP Note 516398 (Trace display in ST01 does not work correctly).
