ST22
Quick answer
Make ST22 a habit: reviewing dumps regularly catches problems early.
Key takeaways
- A program terminated; you need to find and interpret the dump.
- In ST22, select today’s (or the relevant) dumps, open the one matching the time/user, and read the structured sections: What…
- The dump exists but is misread, focus on the error name and source line.
- Watch out: Guessing instead of reading the log/dump.
Symptom
A program terminated; you need to find and interpret the dump.
Start here: read the evidence
In ST22, select today’s (or the relevant) dumps, open the one matching the time/user, and read the structured sections: What happened, Error analysis, Source code extract, and the contents of variables and the call stack.
Likely causes, in order
- The dump exists but is misread, focus on the error name and source line.
- Multiple dumps, pick the one matching the exact time/user/action.
- Standard-code dump, likely a known issue (SAP Note).
- Custom-code dump, an error in your program.
How to fix it
- Identify the runtime error name and failing statement.
- Inspect the variables/call stack for the trigger.
- For standard code, search SAP Notes by error + program.
- For custom code, reproduce and debug, then fix.
Preventing recurrence
Make ST22 a habit: reviewing dumps regularly catches problems early. Recurring custom-code dumps signal code that needs fixing; recurring standard dumps signal a missing Note or configuration issue.
Common pitfalls
- Guessing instead of reading the log/dump.
- Fixing the symptom, not the root cause.
- Changing several things at once.
