Tracing SAP Adapter

When we have problems with the SAP Adapter, is easy to turn on tracing.

We need only add in our connection URI the RfcSdkTrace parameter and set to true.

Adding this parameter, the adapter traces will be sent to system32 folder, with a minimum trace level.

If you need to send the traces to other directory, you have to add RFC_TRACE_DIR environment variable and set the value of the desired output folder.

Also, if you need traces more detailed, you have to add RFC_TRACE environment variable and set it to 1 or 2. By default and if we don't add this variable, the value is 0 that means tracing level is bare minimum. The 2 value is the more detailed tracing level.

For more information, check this documentation.
