ABAP Dump Analysis
If an unhandled exception occurs while an ABAP program is being executed, the ABAP runtime environment triggers an ABAP runtime error. The execution of the program is terminated in this case and a detailed error log (short dump) is created and saved in the affected ABAP system.
If a runtime error occurs in a dialog process, the system immediately displays a screen with the short dump. For further checks you can then branch directly to the ABAP Debugger.
You have the following options for accessing the saved short dumps at a later time:
-
Using tools of the ABAP Dump Analysis transaction, you can again display information about the runtime error that occurred, and also investigate the short dump, save it locally, or print it.
For more information, see the dialog transactions of the ABAP Dump Analysis.
-
You can access the internal administration of the short dump that has been saved. In this way, you can - for example - prevent the short dump from being deleted automatically.
See also the section on Stopping Short Dumps from Being Automatically Deleted.
The selection of short dumps is implicitly based on the authorization of your user ID for cross-client dump analysis. In the standard version, only those short dumps that occurred within your logon client will be displayed.
If you want to check the short dumps of other clients, you will require the necessary authorization. Contact your administrator for this.
