How to create application log in SAP

According to my reqirement,I need to display messages in the application log whenever some updation is done.
How to do create application log and display messages in the application log.

Hello Smriti
If you have interface IF_RECA_MESSAGE_LIST available on your system then I highly recommend to use as message collector.
When you create an instance of the interface (CF_RECA_MESSAGE_LIST=>CREATE) you can provide an application log object.
The collected messages can easily be saved as log.
For an example have a look at my Wiki posting [Message Handling - Finding the Needle in the Haystack|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/profile/2007/07/09/MessageHandling-FindingtheNeedleintheHaystack]

What are F. M's used for creating application log in application server

Hello
plz suggest which F.M's i have to use to create application log
Regards
Kanth

Hi Kanth,
You can go through the following Function Modules :
Application Log Maintenance
(i)APPL_LOG_DELETE With this function module you delete logs in the database according to specified selection conditions
(ii)APPL_LOG_DISPLAY With this function module you can analyze logs in the database.
(iii)APPL_LOG_DISPLAY_INTERN With this function module you can analyze logs in local memory, e.g. when you have only collected log records at runtime and do not want to write to the database.
(iv)APPL_LOG_INIT This function module checks whether the specified object or sub-object exists and deletes all existing associated data in local memory.
(v)APPL_LOG_READ_DB With this function module you read the log data in the database for an object or sub-object according to specified selection conditions.
(vi)APPL_LOG_READ_INTERN With this function module you read all log data whose log class has at least the specified value, from local memory, for the specified object or sub-object.
(vii)APPL_LOG_SET_OBJECT With this function module, you create a new object or sub-object for writing in local memory. With a flag you can control whether the
(viii)APPL_LOG_WRITE_u2026 messages are written in local memory or are output on the screen.
(ix)APPL_LOG_WRITE_DB With this function module you write all data for the specified object or sub-object in local memory to the database. If the log for the object or sub-object in question is new, the log number is returned to the calling program.
(x)APPL_LOG_WRITE_HEADER With this function module, you write the log header data in local memory.
(xi)APPL_LOG_WRITE_LOG_PARAMETERS With this function module, you write the name of the log parameters and the associated values for the specified object or sub-object in local memory. If this function module is called repeatedly for the same object or sub-object, the existing parameters are updated accordingly. If you do not specify an object or sub-object with the call, the most recently used is assumed.
(xii)APPL_LOG_WRITE_MESSAGE_PARAMS With this function module you write a single message, with parameters, in local memory. Otherwise the function module works like
(xiv)APPL_LOG_WRITE_SINGLE_MESSAGE.
(xv)APPL_LOG_WRITE_MESSAGES With this function module you write one or more messages, without parameters, in local memory.
(xvi)APPL_LOG_WRITE_SINGLE_MESSAGE With this function module you write a single message, without parameters, in local memory. If no header entry has yet been written for the object or sub-object, it is created. If you do not specify an object or sub-object with the call, the most recently used is assumed.

Swapna.

How to create Application Log

Hi,
I have written a report which gathers errors in a test data container.
These errors are stored in a internal table of type stringtab.
I want to create a Application Log of these errors so that the user can
view it at a later time.
Are there predefined function modules available in ABAP for creating and viewing log?
Kindly provide me the details.
Regards,
Bikash.

Hi Monika,
Is it necessary to add messages from message class in
BAL_LOG_MSG_ADD --> Put message in log.
Is there any way where a string can also be added and viewed from a application
log?
For my use case i actually have a stringtab for which i want to have a log.

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,
babu.

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 create different log files for each of web applications deployed in OC4J

Hi All,
I am using OC4J(from Oracle) v1.0.2.2 and Windows2000. Now I want to know
1. how to create different log files for each of my deployed web applications ?
2. what are the advantages in running multiple instances of oc4j and in what case we should run
multiple instances of OC4J ?
3. how to run OC4J as Windows2000 Service rather than Windows2000 Application ?
Thanks and Regards,
Kumar.

Hi Avi,
First of all I have given a first reading to log4j and I think there will some more easy way of logging debugging messages than log4j (If you could provide me a detailed explanation of a servlet,jsp,java bean that uses log4j and how to use log4j then it will be very helpful for me). The other easy ways (if I am not using log4j) to my problem i.e creating different log files for each of web applications deployed in oc4j are
I have created multiple instances of OC4J that are configured to run on different ports and so on each instance I have deployed a single web application . And I started the 2 oc4j instances by transferring thier error/log messages to a file. And the other way is ..
I have download from jakarta site a package called servhelper . This servhelper is a thread that is started in a startup servlet and stopped in the destroy method of that startup servlet. So this thread will automatically capture all the system.out.println's and will print those to a file. I believe that this thread program is synchronized. So in this method I need not run multiple instances of OC4J instead each deployed web application on single instance of oc4j uses the same thread program (ofcourse a copy of thread program is put in each of the deployed web applications directories) to log messages on to different log files.
Can you comment on my above 2 approached to logging debugging messages and a compartive explanation to LOG4J and how to use LOG4J using a simple servlet, simple jsp is appreciated ...
Thanks and Regards,
Ravi.

How to create performance counter based on no. of errors generated in application log

i have written custom events into application log and am able to see those events as alerts in the scom console and now i want to see how many event errors are generated for every 15mins.(interval)performance counter with same event source or id. how can
i get started with this

Hi,
Please try to create event monitor Triggered on Count:
Trigger on count consolidation of events lets a monitor require multiple occurrences of the same event in a specified time window before it changes the health state to an error. The time window can be rotating time duration of specified length or
a specific window based on day of the week.
Trigger on count consolidation resembles trigger on timer consolidation except that multiple occurrences of the event are required instead of just one. When the time window is reached, the event count is returned to zero, and the specific number of events
must detected before the time window expires again for the health state to be changed.

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.

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.
Regards, Luciano.
