Application log

Hello friends,
I have a query regarding the application log ( Transaction SLG0, SLG1 etc ). I would like to be able to write to the application log and at the same time be able to read and siplay the application log. Want to know the function modules for doing the same. It would be nice if the same could be shown with some example.
Useful answers will be rewarded.
Cheers,
Jaydeep.

Hello,
Take a look at the FMs in group SLG0:
APPL_LOG_INIT
APPL_LOG_INIT_MESSAGES
APPL_LOG_READ_INTERN
APPL_LOG_READ_INTERN_LONGTEXT
APPL_LOG_SET_OBJECT
APPL_LOG_WRITE_DB
APPL_LOG_WRITE_HEADER
APPL_LOG_WRITE_LOG_PARAMETERS
APPL_LOG_WRITE_MESSAGES
APPL_LOG_WRITE_MESSAGE_PARAMS
APPL_LOG_WRITE_SINGLE_MESSAGE

John.

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:

It looks like you might simply have run out of memory. It just looks like the JRE tried to adjust its memory map and run out space. When mprotect fails the problem probably isn't with the .so itself.
What are the memory characteristics of your machine? Including the heap and stack space that you allocate for your JVM, as well as the actual physical and swap space available on the server.

Any guidelines using RSAL_LOG_WRITE to post message in the application log

Hi SDN!
I've programmed a rather complex extractor. As most you will know, the real test is when the extractor goes live in productions;-) So in order to be able to check if everything works as designed - I've customized the extractor in order to post more or less entries in the application logs - This setting can be alterered in the uses system directly.
I've tested the functionality using RSA3 and the application log is filled as expected. The Application log object is RSFH and everything shows up fine. When tring to use it from BW - The application log gets no entries under object RSAP (Where they normally will end up).
I'm using the function module RSAL_LOG_WRITE to add entries to the same log as the macroes LOG_WRITE uses.
Does anybody have any experiance adding entries to the standard application log in the source system when extracting data into BW?

os the log of the "parent application". This is rather high level in the container. The message in the logfiles tells you that a procedure doesn't exist.
This can mean 3 things:
1. The procedure really doesn't exist
2. The procedure expects different parameters then passed
3. In the procedure a specific array member is called (but not found). (don't know how to explain this better in English, sorry for that).
It has been a while since I touched portal. In the past portal used a DAD (located in your HTTP-Server configuration). By changing the error style of the dad, you might find a more comprohensive error message.

Log messages for 'auditing' are different in 'general' and'application log

Hi,
From UI, When I audit a file using a profile which comprises of user-defined 'rules/categories/analyzers', I will get log messages at ''File-name(Application) log window' and 'Messages' log window, which are located at bottom of Jdev UI page. One common message in both the log windows is
" <n1> violations, <n2> exceptions, <n3> documents, <n4> seconds>.
But here the 'n1,n2,...' numbers are dfferent in two windows though the log output is for a same file. In this the 'file-name' log shows the correct
Example:-
In 'file-name' log window ,it shows as:
3 documents, 8 violations, no exceptions
In messages window, it shows as
"Audit starting on EFC.jpr (Default)
Audit completed: no violations, no exceptions, 3 documents, 1 second"
If I use the 'pre-existed'(Jdev's) rules profile, I will get similar output in both log windows.
From this I concluded that there is something missing to register for a new 'rule/category/analyzer'.
Could you suggest me in this case. Do I forgot anything to do in any files of '<rule-implementation.java>', 'audit.properties', <add-in launcher>.java, extension.xml.
Actually, I want to use 'ojaudit' executable from command line to my project files. Here I observed that the output of the 'ojaudit' is similar to the above explained 'Message' log window in JDeveloper UI. But where the 'Message' log window output is not correct for user-defined rules.
Regards
Madhu

Romano,
In the upcoming production release (planned to be released next week), we added caching of authorized roles and permissions in JhsAuthorizationProxy class.
I suggest you wait for this relase, if the problem persists, it is most likely an ADF issue (as is the logging)

Doubt in creating program to display application logs

Hi,
I have doubt in creating a program to display application logs.
The standard transaction code SLG1 has been used to display Application logs till now by the user.
They came up with the new requirement on this.
The requirements were:
1)New custom program shoud be created like SLG1 with limited selection fields( data from, date to, Program name and User)
2) Detail list should be displyed immediately when this program is executed because SLG1 gives Basic list,Detailed list which is getting displayed when 'Detail view' is selected in the first list.
I have created one program with limited selection fields as per the requirement using the below function modules .
BAL_FILTER_CREATE
BAL_DB_SEARCH
BAL_DB_LOAD
and BAL_DSP_LOG_DISPLAY
Issue : still I am getting the firt list.
both Basic and Detailled lists are getting triggered at the FM BAL_DSP_LOG_DISPLAY.
Is it only the way to copy and modify this FM.
Could you please suggest me?
Thans in advace,

Hello All,
Thanks for your valuable suggitions.
I have seen most of the demo programs.
I found one fm'BAL_DSP_PROFILE_NO_TREE_GET' which avoids the tree list which is getting listed above the profile list.
I have been searching alot to omit the Profile list. I searched alot to find any function modules realted to that.
The requirement was only the Detail list should only be listed.
Could you please suggest me to avopid that profile list also?
Thanks in advance,

How to write to application log at BBP_CREATE_BE_PO_NEW

Dear all,
I am running in a strange problem. I want to log to application log (SLG1) in BADI BBP_CREATE_BE_PO_NEW. As soon as I call a function from there I get an error at the shopping cart position. Changing values in the given data does work without any problems. In EBP 3.5 we used the BADI BBP_CREATE_PO_BACK and this worked with logging without any problems.
Thanks for support.
Regards
Roman

Hello , there is an example of application logging usage in report SBAL_DEMO_01.
You need an application log instance to be created before you can add messages that will be displayed using tx SLG1. Maybe its because you dont have a logging object instance in your badi.
Hope it helps.

Write to application log in user exit

Hi all,
I want to write a collection messages to the application log in user exit EBIA0003, user exit for transaction EA00, but I only can write one if I just use
message eYYY(x) with lv_msgv1
 lv_msgv2
 lv_msgv3
 lv_msgv4.
It will be placed in the log after the exit.
I've already tried with the BAL functions, but it doesn't seem to work or maybe I'm doing something wrong. Is there a way to write a collection of messages in to the application log in this user exit?
greetz Pieter

Hi Pieter,
you can do using BAL functions if the lop is already opened. Try to find out what parameters the transaction uses for LOG access (handle!). Do the calls in the exit accordingly.
We append messages to the current log using FUNCTION 'BAL_LOG_MSG_ADD'. If the log handle is not available, you might access it using dynamic assign like
ASSIGN ('(<program>)<field>') TO <field> .

Clemens

Exporting and Importing Data of Application Log

Hello,
We do migrate an application from SAP System A to SAP System B.
Despite the application logic, we do need to migrate some data, too.
For this we do write an export report in System A that writes the data of some tables to files on the app server..
Another report in system B takes the files and fills the respecting tables.
So far so good:
One table (which reports certain actions) contains the handle to the application log, which was created for this action.
I do want to extract this application log and later import this log in the other system, but do not know how this can be done in the best way.
Do you have any suggestion ?
Best regards
Michael

In my experience, it's an unrealistic expectation.
SAP doesn't provide a straight path to migrate logs the way you plan to do. It's kept in a combination of tables and index files on the system. So even if you were to successfully extract it, when you load the data into system B you will lose the date and time stamp. When you create a log entry, it picks up system date and time. That's what an auditor would look for.
An alternate solution would be to read the application log and store it in a new custom table in system B.
Any reporting should be done off that as of a specific date.

Warning message into Application log of Service request

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement where I am using Event handlers(CRMV_EVENT) to redetermine partners of a service request whenever certain values are changed in the transaction CRMD_ORDER.
Partners will be retrieved from a custom table.
In any circumstances, if the partners cannot be determined then we need to push a WARNING message stating that "Partners can not be determined, pls maintain the values in the custom table'.
For this purpose I am using the function module CRM_MESSAGE_COLLECT with the following parameters, but still I am not able to see the same into the Application log of the Service request that is going to be created.
CALL FUNCTION 'CRM_MESSAGE_COLLECT'
EXPORTING
 iv_caller_name = 'ORDERADM_H'

How come this message is coming in the application log, since no one has tried to log in to the application?

Hi Both are 2008R2 version. My doubt is I can see that login failed message in application log but how to find out which process is trying to use that login?
First observe that this is something that runs on the same machine as SQL Server. (The error message says "CLIENT: <local machine>".) That may be a clue enough.
If not, set up a includes Audit: Login Failed and no other event. Of interest are the columns ApplicationNmae and the the column ClientProcessID. ApplicationName may be sufficient, but if not you can use ClientProcessID and match this against the PIDs you
see in Task Manager or Process Explorer. There is a risk it is a short-lived process and then you will have to look at Process Explorer and Profiler in parallel.

To add message in Application Log in Me2xn

Hello Experts,
This is my requirement.
During creation of PO item it is required to put a check if the Vendor is one among the Vendors in the table: ZTABLE.
If yes, it means that the PO is an internal order. Then you should check if the flag: GR Non-valuated is set for the newly added items.
If not, send out an error into the application log when the document is saved, so that the user is notified and it has to be checked to make the document complete for further processing.
I have implemented is check in the exit EXIT_SAPMM06E_012. But I don't know how to update the application log.
Could you please send some sample code to update the application log saying that the PO is inetrnal Order
Thanks in Advance.

Issue regarding application log in standard program RPCLMSU0

System Status: SAP ECC6, SP15.
This probem has been observed after we have upgraded from 4.6C.
In the include RPCLMSUF of the Report RPCLMSU0, there is an FM BAL_LOG_MSG_ADD, which adds messages to an application log.
A structure is passed to the FM, of type bal_s_msg.
The first 3 components of the structure are of type:
sy-msgt, sy-msgid and sy-msgno.
These should normally be filled in by values from the FM called just above it: BAL_LOG_CREATE.
But this doesnu2019t happen.
So, SAP has hardcoded values for these 3 as u2018Eu2019 (Message type), HRPAYNA_ALV (Message ID) and u2018998u2019 (Message no).
These are the values that get printed when the program is tested. i.e. the hardcoded text is getting displayed.
Output in the ALV : HRPAYNA_ALV:998 ***********No records found***********
We have checked the documentation for the FMs, and even gone through a few sample programs that SAP has created like SBAL_DEMO_02. The output is perfect here.
Since this is code that SAP has added (Entire form added "SL0K008292) by SAP to its standard code, they must believe that these hardcoded text will still not get printed. Can this error can be corrected by making some configuration changes in the system (SLG1?).
The code of the suroutine where this FM is called is given below:
FORM alv_appl_msg_add USING iv_text1 TYPE any
 iv_text2 TYPE any
 iv_text3 TYPE any
 iv_text4 TYPE any.
Constants delcation.....

Hi
Pass IDoc Number, Date, Time from EDIDC table to FM-

You'll get all log details of that IDoc.
For only Message, check FM - 'IDOC_GET_MESSAGE_ATTRIBUTE'.
