Application Log in Function Module

Hi Experts,
I have come across application log as input in several function modules. What is the significance of the application log and how do I generate it so that I can use the function module. Following is the interface of my function module
*"*"Local Interface:
*" IMPORTING
*"     REFERENCE(IV_UPDATE_TYPE) TYPE UPDATE_TYPE DEFAULT 'U'
*"     REFERENCE(IV_PRODUCT_GUID) TYPE COMT_PRODUCT_GUID
*"     REFERENCE(IS_SET_MAINTAIN) TYPE ZSORGIB_MAINTAIN
*"     REFERENCE(IV_APPLICATION_LOG) TYPE BALLOGHNDL

Hi,
You can use the Application Log to display error messages, warnings, and other information generated by KM applications and services.
Use FM Application 'BAL_LOG_CREATE' for creating an handle and then call FM 'BAL_LOG_MSG_ADD' to add new messages under this handle. When you call the function module with the handle generated by you. The messages inside the fm will be logged with that handle which later on you can get using BAL_LOG_MSG_READ.
Thanks and warm regards,
Smita.

How to call a WD Application from a function module?

Hi Folks,
I have a requirement in my project to call my web dynpro application from a function module .
Can someone help me out with this , some example or docs would be of great help .
Regards
Abhishek Sahai

Hi,
why you want to have a FM to call the Application. If it is called also, do you want to display the applicaiton output to user.
Do you use this FM inside any class or WD compoent or what.
There is a class CL_WD_UTILITIES=>CONSTRUCT_WD_URL where an Application is generated but you need to have the windoe manager to show this application.
Can you elaborate more on your requriement.

Hi,
Calling an SAP Function Module from Java
To call an SAP function module from a Java application, you first need SAP JCo (Java Connector); you can download it from SAP's site, though you need an account to do so.
To actually open the connection, use the tip code shown here.
Class jcoClass = Class.forName("com.sap.mw.jco.JCO", true, this.getClass().getClassLoader());
Client client = JCO.createClient(clientNumber, user, passWord, lang, host, systemId);
//all parameters are strings
client.connect();
Repository repository = new JCO.Repository("SAP", client);
IFunctionTemplate functionTemplate = repository.getFunctionTemplate
("YOUR_FUNCTIONAL_MODULE_NAME");
Function function = functionTemplate.getFunction();
ParameterList parameterList = function.getImportParameterList();
parameterList.setValue("value1", "INPUT_PARAM_NAME");
parameterList.setValue("value2", "INPUT_PARAM_NAME2");
client.execute(function);

Application server File renaming function module creation - sample code

I want to rename a file from application server using function module.
Can somebody tell me is there is any such sap provided function module
is there?If not please tell me what should be abap routine to create such
a function module.
Thanks in advance....

You need to create a logical file name using FILE transaction. Then create a logical path and assign the physical path (actual path on app. server) to the logical path. While defining the physical filne name you have the option of selecting from the list of 'reserved word' available. For e.g. <DATE>, <TIME> etc.
Steps are:
1) Execute transaction 'FILE'.
2) Create a logical file path.
3) Assign Syntax Grp (Operating Systems) to above logical file path. You need to create the syntax group to identify the physical path in the application server. This step actually assigns the physical path to the logical path.
4) Create a logical file.
5) Assign the physical file name to the logical file. You have lots of system reserved word to choose from to suffix your file name with date and time etc.
The physical file name is used by the function module FILE_GET_NAME at runtime to compose a complete platform-specific file name.
For more information, see [renaming a file on the application server;.

Configuring CIF application log in APO

Folks
I was trying to configure CIF Application log from an APO perspective by specifying a function module and the different table fields.
I configured the same in R3 side using CFC6 but am having trouble finding it in APO
Does any body know how to dod this in APO ?
Thanks

Thanks for the repsonse folks
I tried /SAPAPO/C41 with detailed option but failed to see the detailed log which I had enabled in R3 through CFC6.
In R3, I enabled field logging for function module CIF_PRODUCT_SEND. In R3 log, I am able to see the relevant fields form this function module that are being sent to APO.
However, I also want to see the log from APO, for the same fields, if they were recieved without any errors or sent to postprocessing.
There is a function module /SAPAPO/CIF_PROD and I need to use the fields of the modules in the APO side CIF logging.is this possible ?
Would appreciate if any one can share their thoughts on how this can be accomplished
Thanks

Custom error message in SAP application log

Is there a way to add a custom error message to the SAP application log without passing the message variables MSGV1, MSGV2, MSGV3, MSGV4 and the Message class and number.
We want to pass a custom message from the BAPIRET2-MESSAGE without giving it a Message class and number. The reason for this is that we are using class based exceptions instead of the traditional message class with errors. When we catch the class based exception, we take the error text of the exception and put in in the BAPIRET2-message and set the BAPIRET2-TYPE as 'E'. Now we want to add this to the SAP application log.
The call to 'BAL_LOG_MSG_ADD' takes a structure BAL_S_MSG which is just like BAPIRET2. However this function builds the entry to the application log use the message variables MSGV1, MSGV2, MSGV3, MSGV4. There is no provision to pass in the BAPIRET2 message.
Add message to application log
CALL FUNCTION 'BAL_LOG_MSG_ADD'
 EXPORTING
 i_log_handle = app_log_handle
 i_s_msg = log_message
Thanks,
Jay

Hi Jay,
Did you see BAL_LOG_EXCEPTION_ADD?
This FM is represented by the structure BAL_S_EXC. This can have various versions as described below:
Data of BAL_S_EXC Structure / Use
EXCEPTION / Exception class from which an exception text
 is added to the log. This field must be filled.
MSGTY / Message type (MSGTY) of a T100 message.
 This field must also be filled for exceptions.
PROBCLASS,
DETLEVEL,
ALSORT, TIME_STMP / Message or exception attributes, such as
 problem class (PROBCLASS, for
 example, "very important"), level of detail
 (DETLEVEL, from 1 to 9), sort criterion
 (ALSORT, unrestricted) and timestamp
 (TIME_STMP). These fields can be displayed
 in the log (except TIME_STMP).
MSG_COUNT / This attribute is not used for exceptions.
Follow the link below for more details:

Uncatchable exception: BSP calling Function Module

Hi all,
currently i'm facing a very weird problem. My application class calls function module
HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION. Normally, in case of an error, the function module gives you back a return parameter. But if i call it from my BSP, the processing doesn't leave the function module. It directly throws an exception ERROR_MESSAGE_STATE instead of writing the message into parameter return.
If i call the function module with the same parameters from a report, it works fine and the error message is written to return parameter without throwing an exception.
What am i doing wrong? I don't want that exception and need to go on with filled parameter result.
Regards
Mark-André

Hi MA,
try using ERROR_MESSAGE in the exceptions list, like this.
CALL FUNCTION 'func_name'
     EXPORTING
          string            = text
          pos               = position
     IMPORTING
          string1           = text1
          string2           = text2
     EXCEPTIONS
          string1_too_small = 1
          string2_too_small = 2
          ERROR_MESSAGE     = 3
          OTHERS            = 4.

Use of Interface parameters in Function module in ECC 6.0

Hello all,
In ECC 6.0 Version we do not use Changing/Tables interface parameters. Instead we declare a table type and use Exporting Parameters.
Can any one send me the link to sap help where this is mentioned.
Thanks,
Salil

Should be straight forward. Here's a sample...
Exporting...
VBSK_E LIKE VBSK
ET_SPLITPROT TYPE VLIKP_T_SPLITPROT
If not enough, do application help from function module....

ABAP Function Module to perform validation

Hi Developers,
I'm am trying to create a function module to be later used by a Web Dynpro application. The function module should be structured as followed:
Importing
USER_ID : User ID to be searched that is entered by user.
TENANT: Tenant ID that is to be searched, also entered by user.
Changing
EXIST: A flag that will return the values Y or N based on a return from the function module.
The function module must be able to access a specified Oracle database table and perform a check on the table with the provided import values. If the combination exists, it should return a Y. If the combination does not exist it should return an N. Assumption is that tenant and userid fields exist in this table in addition to two other. User ID is the primary key.

JD

Function Module for Application Log(SLG1)

HI SapAll.
may i know what is the Function Module to read the data for Applicaiton Log (tcode-SLG1).
waiitng for your response.
regards.
Varma

Hi Danish.
running the program 'SBAL_DISPLAY' is similar to running the FM'APPL_LOG_DISPLAY' .However when i run any one of these i have to manually press the 'Execute button' to display the log(there is no option to save the log into spool or to get into some Internal table)
i have tried running the program 'SBAL_DISPLAY' by putting the Break point at the line ( CALL FUNCTION 'BAL_DSP_LOG_DISPLAY'
      EXPORTING
        i_t_log_handle      = l_t_log_handle)
,while debugging the values are as below:
L_T_LOG_HANDLE : Sorted Table[1x1(44)]
1      ZoDNJw4vg3BX0000h1GOdm.
could you please help me in getting the log into spool wihtout having to press the execute button and without having to look at the Log.
regards.
