The possibility of tracing authorization objects within the ABAP trace has been somewhat limited until now. In Release 3.0, the authorization trace is offered as part of the SAP system trace.
Enhancements:
- You can perform the new trace for as long as required. It is not limited to the execution of a transaction.
- The analysis not only displays the authorization objects, but also the fields and checked values.
Instructions:
Tools -> Admininistration -> Monitor -> Traces -> SAP System trace -> Trace switch -> Edit switch...
Select 'Authorization check' and select 'Write trace to disk' for the
write options. If you only want to trace checks for your own actions,
enter your name under 'General filter' for 'Trace for user only'.
Now choose the functions Trace switch -> Save -> In active system
The trace is activated so that you can perform transactions and functions in any mode.
If you want to analyze the trace, return to the trace transaction and choose 'Stop trace immediately'. Now choose Trace files -> Analyze options ...; Select 'Trace for authorization checks' and enter your user name if necessary. There should be a number (e.g. 80) in the field 'Max. pages for data'. Choose Accept -> Trace files -> Trace list ...; Place the cursor on the trace file and choose 'Analyze file'.
