Event Trace

[Smith, Cassaundra]

Dear Workflowers:
 
I am trying to see if SAP already triggers an event.  I need to know if an event
is created via the system when a service entry sheet is approved.  I know you
can turn the event trace on and then perform the task and then turn the event
trace off and display the trace - but I don't think everything is setup
properly.  I turned the event trace on and performed a task that I know for a
fact creates an event in our production system and the trace did not pick it up.
So I am wondering if there is something else I need to do to get the event trace
to work properly.  In SAPs documentation, it says that the event trace is only
written if logging has been activated.  Does anyone know what this 'logging'
means?  I asked our BASIS folks thinking maybe some system logging has to be
turned on and they said they did not know what that was.  Has anyone out there
ever run into this problem ???  I would love to hear from you.
 
Thanks,
 
Casey
