Turning Developer Traces On and Off

You can turn developer traces on and off and set the trace level dynamically from within the SAP System or with system profile parameters or command-line arguments.

Activating / Deactivating Developer Traces from within SAP System:

  1. Choose Administration -> System management -> Monitor -> System monitoring -> Process overviewAlternatively, enter transaction code SM50.
  2. Choose the work process in which you wish to increase the trace level. To trace all work processes of a server, use the system profile method shown below.
  3. Choose Process -> Trace -> Active components.
  4. The system presents a dialog screen that shows the current status of the developer trace.


Turn developer tracing on and off for different server components by selecting the appropriate checkboxes.

Set the degree of detail by entering a number in the Level field. Possible trace levels are as follows:

– 0: No trace.

– 1: Write error messages in the trace file.

– 2: Full trace. The trace entries that are actually written can vary with the SAP program that is being traced.

– 3: Additionally, trace data blocks.
