Parameter
rdisp/TRACE_PATTERN_0
Short text
Search pattern for trace logging
Parameter Description
rdisp/TRACE_PATTERN defines a search pattern to automatically switch off the SAP trace. This parameter only has an effect if trace logging has been activated using rdisp/TRACE_LOGGING. In this case, the trace files are searched for the search pattern before being automatically reset. If the pattern is found, trace logging is deactivated and the trace level is set to 1. The following trace files are included in the search:
• All dev_w* work process trace files
• Dispatcher trace file dev_disp
• Gateway trace file dev_rd
• ICM trace file dev_icm (if it exists)
• Message server trace file dev_ms (if it exists)
The search pattern can contain the special character * for any character string and ? for any character. Use the backslash (\) to ensure that special characters are treated as ordinary characters. For the sake of readability, the search patterns in the following examples are enclosed in double quotation marks (“). When specifying your own search terms in RZ11 or in the profiles, however, enter them without quotation marks.
Examples
The pattern “word1 * word?” is found in the line “one example with word1 and word2” but not in the line “one example with word1 and word”
The pattern “10 \* 10 =” is found in the line “Multiplication: 10 * 10 = 100”, but not in the line “Addition: 10 + 10 = 20”
You can use the parameters rdisp/TRACE_PATTERN_1 and rdisp/TRACE_PATTERN_2 to configure two additional search patterns. If one of the search patterns is found, the trace logging is deactivated, and the trace level is reset.
