Which transaction am I running currently?
Select menu item Status


Here, you find the current transaction name at Program (GUI):

What are the available transaction codes?
They are all included in table TSTCT. List content using transaction SE11
How can I search for transaction code which performs a specific action?
Alternative 1: Run transaction SEARCH_SAP_MENU;
Enter descriptive text, system lists related transactions:



Alternative 2: There is a way to search for transactions by its short description text.
Start transaction SE80. An object has to be displayed on the right pane (here: a class, double-click on the
class name in the navigation pane on the left)
Hit button Other object .. or F5

Select tab More..

Here you can search for transactions using short description texts (educated guessing):
