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)

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