Read memory variables

Evaristo — Mon, 09 Dec 2019 12:11:53 GMT

Hi Experts!

I need to build a program to monitor in realtime the execution of a program in SAP.
Similar the SQLTrace, where I can activate or deactivate the trace.
When I activate the trace, this program should read the memory variables and those values.
It could be a standard or Z program.

Any tips?

Thank you very much.
Best regards,
Evaristo.

Basicaly you will need to scan the source of the program : SCAN ABAP-SOURCE ...

it will gives you the list of variable

and after to access the content you could play with (program)variable (with field symbol assignment)

but ...

the problem is, the variable content will change, maybe quickly, and you have nothing to say to your trace : take a screenshot

for my point of view, it is more easy to play with Ball Log.

Create a class that activate a ball log, with a trace level. In each program you have to use this class at specific moment.

If you have issu in production system, you just have to increase the trace level to have all detail information

Transaction SAT? Debugger script? Like Frederic, I don't get your objective, so I can't answer precisely.

Hi Evaristo Broullon Couso

Are you looking for something like transaction S_MEMORY_INSPECTOR.

To create snapshot from program, select main menu - System - Utilities - Memory Analysis - Create snapshot

then go to S_MEMORY_INSPECTOR to analyse it.
