The parameter auth/authorization_trace can have the following values:

  • N: Trace deactivated

  • Y: Trace activated

  • F: Trace activated with filters (SAP Note 1854561). You can set the
  • filters for the recording in transaction STUSOBTRACE. You can useapplication type, users, and authorization objects as filters. In thisway, you can investigate specific scenarios. At least one filter must beset, otherwise the trace does not record anything. With filters, thevolume of data and thefore the effect on the performance of the systemare significantly smaller than with Y.
    • Space: With this setting, the trace is activated is SAP systems (profile
    • parameter transport/systemtype = SAP), and deactivated in customersystems (transport/systemtype = CUSTOMER). This is the default setting,if the parameter has not been set in the instance profile or defaultprofile (DEFAULT.PFL) and has not been dynamically changed.
