Read ABAP runtime errors (ST22 short dumps)
abap_dumpsRetrieve ABAP runtime errors (ST22 short dumps) from the system dump repository. List recent dumps or show full details chapter by chapter to diagnose failures.
Instructions
Read ABAP runtime errors (ST22 short dumps) from the system's dump repository — not the exception text of a run this server just triggered. mode=list filters the dump feed; mode=show returns one dump, chapter by chapter. The feed reaches back 8 DAYS ONLY: an empty list means "no dumps in the last 8 days matching this filter", never "nothing failed". Copy key from a list row VERBATIM. show returns a summary (exception, short text, error analysis, how to correct, source line, top of the call stack, chapter index); section or chapters returns chapter text — where terminated, source extract, system fields, call stack, and nothing else unless the operator enabled more.
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| to | No | list: newest dump to include, YYYYMMDDHHMMSS. No page cursor exists; to page backwards, set to= the oldest timestamp already seen. | |
| key | No | show, required: key exactly as a list row printed it. Do not trim, re-encode or rebuild it — internal spaces are significant. | |
| max | No | list: rows to request (default 20). | |
| from | No | list: oldest dump to include, YYYYMMDDHHMMSS in the server's local time. | |
| mode | No | "list" (default) filters the dump feed; "show" returns one dump by key. | |
| query | No | list: server-side FQL filter, e.g. and ( equals ( user , DEVELOPER ) , equals ( runtimeError , MESSAGE_TYPE_X ) ). Operator FIRST, then attribute, then the value, UNQUOTED. One and(...)/or(...) wrapper is mandatory even for a single predicate; max 2 levels deep. Validated locally before sending. | |
| offset | No | show: 1-based first line of the returned chapter text. | |
| section | No | show: which chapter text to return instead of the default summary. "analysis" = short text, error analysis, how to correct, exception chain; "source" = where terminated + source extract; "stack" = call stack; "environment" = system/user/session fields; "all" = the full default set (where terminated, source extract, system fields, call stack). Alternative to chapters. | |
| chapters | No | show: comma-separated chapter NAMES, e.g. "kap7,kap8,kap11" — names, never the titles, which are translated. Alternative to section. Without either, show returns a summary; every chapter this dump has is listed in the response. |
