Trace Files and Log Files

Use

RFC runtime information is recorded in the following trace files:

  • RFC Traces dev_rfc<n>

  • Work Process Traces dev_w<n>

  • Gateway Traces dev_rd<n>

When communicating using RFC, security-relevant data from RFC function modules (such as password or credit card number) can be displayed in trace files.

You must handle access to these trace files as restrictively as possible. For work process and gateway traces it is possible to restrict the display of critical data using the corresponding trace level setting.

Activate and Deactivate Traces

You activate RFC traces in transaction SM59. You can use the authorization object S_RFC_ADM to control access to this transaction. Transaction SM50 allows you to display traces. You control access to traces with the authorization object S_ADMI_FCD (parameter PADM).
