Dear gurus,
I am having sleepless nights because of the above problem..
At 01:00 here everyday, the SAP systems all shutdown for about 1 hour for an offline backup. I need to use the ST01 system trace and SMGW gateway trace for about 10 days to verify all communication partners and which access they require.
However... when the servers are started again, my trace settings are gone and several hours of important system processing duck under the radar of the tracing... 😔
I can see 2 options:
1) Find a pub until 02:00 in the morning and then go back to the office.
2) Find a way to activate the trace again (ideally with parameters) when the systems come back up again. I have looked for an ABAP report as job for this but no luck.
I found several solutions to the first option and setting the smgw trace as static instance profiles for the second, but was wondering whether there is some magic basis trick to use the job approach to activate the ST01 traces again? Even from own code, the activation is a c-call so I want to avoid that as well if possible by any means.
I can offer at least one evening of beers on me in the pub if you spare me the other 9 evenings with some guru trick to turn the trace on again? 😉
Cheers,
Julius
