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:

Single Transaction Analysis (ST12) – getting started. [https://blogs.sap.com/2009/09/08/single-transaction-analysis-st12-getting-started/]

or here

ST12 – tracing user requests (Tasks & HTTP) [https://blogs.sap.com/2010/03/22/st12-tracing-user-requests-tasks-http/]

To store your trace into file, perform the following:

1. Start transaction ST13
2. Enter tool name: ANALYSISBROWSER (Report /SSF/DLBROWSER)
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.
