Definition

When you send RFC calls, you can use the trace export methods to decide, on the sender side, whether to forward the trace level to the target system.

In this way, you can prevent an overflow in the file system of the target application server.

The trace export method can have one of the following values:

  • Default gateway value
    • The profile parameter gw/export_trace_level #0# is set by default and the RFC connections are set to this value.
  • Export trace
    • You can propagate the trace level for this RFC connection independently of the profile parameter gw/export_trace_level by selecting the "Export Trace" option. (This overrides the values of the profile parameter gw/export_trace_level.)

When you activate the user trace in transaction SM04, the profile parameter gw/export_trace_level is set internally to "1" for the participating RFC connections. This means that you do not need to change the profile parameter gw/export_trace_level in transaction SM59.

  • Do not export trace
    • This option stops the trace level from being propagated.

This option is only useful for the analysis of sporadic errors. For more information, see SAP Note 558254.
