  In transaction ST01, select the "ABAP Trace" option and activate it. Make sure to save your changes.
  
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:

  Review System Settings:
  
  Check the system profile parameters related to tracing. You can do this using transaction RZ10 or RZ11. Look for parameters like abap/trace and ensure they are set to allow tracing.
  
  
  
  Consult with Basis Team:
  
  If you are unable to activate the trace or if it keeps getting deactivated, consult with your SAP Basis team. They can provide insights into system performance and configuration settings that may be affecting tracing.
