Description

Activate trace

knltrace

Run directory of the database instance:

<independent_data_path>\wrk\<database_name>

Database trace

The system logs all messages from the kernel.

You can use the log file to identify errors, such as those that occur while processing SQL statements.

Switching on the database trace only has a negative effect on performance with liveCache database instances. This is not the case with MaxDB database instances.

Use the Database Manager database tool, or the CCMS in SAP systems.
