• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TC023 - No saved trace files were found ?

  The SAP error message TC023 "No saved trace files were found" typically occurs when you are trying to access or analyze trace files in the SAP system, but the system cannot find any saved trace files for the specified user or process. This can happen for several reasons, and here are some potential causes, solutions, and related information:
  Causes:
  
  
  No Trace Files Generated: The user or process you are trying to trace may not have generated any trace files. This can happen if the tracing was not enabled or if the process did not execute any actions that would create trace entries.
  
  
  Trace Files Deleted: Trace files may have been deleted or purged from the system. SAP systems often have settings that automatically delete old trace files after a certain period.
  
  
  Incorrect User/Process: You may be looking for trace files for the wrong user or process. Ensure that you are specifying the correct parameters when searching for trace files.
  
  
  Trace Level Not Set: The trace level may not be set correctly for the user or process you are trying to trace. If the trace level is too low, it may not capture the necessary information.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to view the trace files.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Enable Tracing: Ensure that tracing is enabled for the user or process you want to analyze. You can do this using transaction codes like ST01 (System Trace), ST05 (SQL Trace), or ST12 (Combined Trace).
  
  
  Check Trace Settings: Verify the trace settings to ensure that the correct trace level is set. You can adjust the trace level in the respective trace transaction.
  
  
  Search for the Correct User/Process: Double-check that you are searching for the correct user ID or process ID. Use the appropriate filters to narrow down your search.
  
  
  Check for Deletion Settings: Review the system settings for trace file retention. If necessary, adjust the settings to retain trace files for a longer period.
  
  
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access and view trace files. You may need to consult with your SAP security team to verify this.
  
  
  Use Alternative Tools: If you are unable to find trace files using the standard methods, consider using alternative tools or methods for performance analysis, such as transaction ST03N (Workload Analysis) or ST04 (Database Performance Analysis).
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes for tracing and performance analysis, such as ST01, ST05, ST12, ST03N, and ST04.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to tracing and performance analysis.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed guidance on using tracing tools and interpreting trace files.
