• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/OM_BASIS009 - The trace file is very large, see long text ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/OM_BASIS009 indicates that a trace file generated during the execution of a process in SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) is too large. This can happen during various operations, such as planning runs, data processing, or other activities that generate extensive logs.
  Cause:
  
  High Volume of Data: The process being executed is handling a large volume of data, which results in extensive logging.
  Debugging Mode: If the system is running in debugging mode or if detailed logging is enabled, it can lead to the generation of large trace files.
  Long Running Processes: Long-running processes may accumulate a lot of trace information over time.
  Configuration Settings: The configuration settings for logging and tracing may be set to a level that captures excessive detail.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Reduce Trace Level: Check the trace level settings in the system. If it is set to a high level (e.g., detailed logging), consider reducing it to a more appropriate level.
  
  You can adjust the trace settings in transaction ST01 (System Trace) or ST05 (SQL Trace) depending on what is being traced.
  
  
  
  Limit Data Volume: If possible, limit the volume of data being processed in a single run. This can be done by breaking down large jobs into smaller batches.
  
  
  Clean Up Old Trace Files: Regularly clean up old trace files to prevent the system from running out of space or becoming unmanageable. You can use transaction SLG1 to view and delete old logs.
  
  
  Check for Errors: Investigate if there are any underlying issues causing excessive logging. Sometimes, errors in the process can lead to repeated logging of the same information.
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes: Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional guidance.
  
  
  System Performance: Monitor system performance and ensure that the hardware resources are adequate for the volume of data being processed.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes like SLG1 for log analysis, ST22 for dump analysis, and SM21 for system logs.
