Using The Event Trace
As mentioned earlier, this is an important feature to diagnose the workflows with error. You can use Event Trace in Workflows to log all information for creating and using events.
Event queue
You can make use of Event queue to store events temporarily.
General Settings → Workflow → Maintain the event queue settings

In an event trace, you maintain the following data −
- Event data
- Triggering program
- Trigger date and time
- Triggering Object
- Triggering Object Type
- Event Name
Following are the useful transactions under SAP Workflow in ABAP development −
SWE4 - Switch event trace on/off
SWEL - Display event trace. You can display event trace based on different selection criteria. You have the following selection criteria under Event Trace −
Event ID
Creator object type
Creator object instance
Event
Program creating event, etc.

RSWELOGD - Delete event trace
SWEC - Link change documents to events
SWED - Assign change document objects to object types

To activate/deactivate the event trace, navigate to the following path −
Tools → Business Workflow → Development → Administration → Event Manager → Event → Switch Event Trace On/Off or use T-Code: SWELS/SWE4.
