Trace Facility in SAP

With the trace facility, you can trace various operations in your SAP System. You thus monitor the system and reduce the problems that occur

You can use the trace facility to monitor the following operations in your system:

• SQL database accesses

• ABAP programs

• Internal operations in the SAP System and authorization check.You can use transaction ST01 for this.

• Traces generated by SAP processes (developer traces).

These are the trace files that are written by the individual host system processes. These trace files contain highly technical information for use in the event of problems in your System.
