Re: Technical trace

The trace mode can be defined when calling the function from ABAP:

          lr_function->process( EXPORTING io_context = lr_context
                                          iv_trace_mode = if_fdt_constants=>gc_trace_mode_technical                                           iv_timestamp  = lv_timestamp
                                IMPORTING eo_result  = lr_result
                                          eo_trace   = lr_trace ).

You can get the result back as XML:
          lr_trace->read( IMPORTING ev_trace = e_xml_trace ).

You can even start to think of converting the XML document to HTML or TEXT using an XSL Transformation (CALL TRANSFORMATIO command):

<xsl:transform xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:sap="http://www.sap.com/sapxsl" xmlns:asx="http://www.sap.com/abapxml" version="1.0">

  <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
  <xsl:template match="/">
    <asx:abap>
      <asx:values>
        <ROOT>
          <xsl:apply-templates/>
        </ROOT>
      </asx:values>
    </asx:abap>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="/FDT/LOG/TEXT">
    <item>
      <xsl:value-of select="string(.)"/>
     </item>
     <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </xsl:template>


  <xsl:template match="/FDT/LOG/CONTEXT_UPDATE">
    <item>
      <xsl:value-of select="concat(string(@DataObjectName), ' is assigned to ' , string(text()))"/>
     </item>
     <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="text() | @*">
  </xsl:template>

</xsl:transform>

The logs can also be stored the DB. Please be aware that the persistance of those Messages has been optimized.
