• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDL122 - Not possible to display developer trace of a work process ?

  The SAP error message RSDL122 indicates that the system is unable to display the developer trace for a specific work process. This can occur for several reasons, and understanding the cause and potential solutions can help you resolve the issue.
  Causes:
  
  Work Process Not Active: The work process for which you are trying to view the developer trace may not be active or may have already completed its execution.
  Trace Files Not Available: The developer trace files may not be generated or may have been deleted. This can happen if the trace files are not configured to be retained for a long period.
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user attempting to access the developer trace may not have the necessary authorizations to view the trace files.
  System Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the SAP system that prevent the trace from being generated or displayed correctly.
  File System Issues: There could be issues with the file system where the trace files are stored, such as insufficient disk space or file permission issues.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Work Process Status: Verify if the work process is still active. You can do this by checking the transaction SM50 (for dialog processes) or SM66 (for global work processes).
  Review Trace Configuration: Ensure that the trace settings are correctly configured in the system. You can check the settings in transaction RZ10 or RZ11 to see if the trace level is set appropriately.
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the developer trace. You may need to consult with your SAP security team to verify this.
  Inspect File System: Check the file system where the trace files are stored. Ensure that there is sufficient disk space and that the SAP system has the necessary permissions to write to the trace directory.
  Use Alternative Methods: If the developer trace is not available, consider using other tools or transactions to gather information about the work process, such as ST22 (dump analysis) or SM21 (system log).
  Restart Work Process: If the issue persists, you may consider restarting the affected work process or the entire SAP system, if feasible, to clear any temporary issues.
