Exchanging ST12 traces as files

You need to exchange ST12 trace with your counterpart (e.g. SAP support).

You have created traces in transaction ST12 as described here:

or here

To store your trace into file, perform the following:

1. Start transaction ST13
2. Enter tool name: ANALYSISBROWSER
3. Execute (F8)
   
4. Select your analysis

  5.  Select menu: Download -> Text file download -> Export to frontend

   6.  Enter file name and format (leave ASC), click Transfer.

To upload the trace from the file, perform the following steps:

1. Repeat steps 1 – 3 from above.
2. Select menu: Download -> Text file download -> Import from frontend

  3.  Select your file (e.g. D:\trace1.trc) and click Open

  4.  Click “Yes” on Import Analysis popup.

 
Hint: When exchanging the traces files don’t forget to compress them. You can use RAR or ZIP archivers for that.
