Job logs on OS level

Hi,
Do you have any idea or it possible to check in OS level if a particular job is finished or not? Is there a log that i need to be seen?
Regards,
Dwight

Hi,
Thanks for the quick response.
In OS level is there a logfile created once a specific job is finished regardless if it's SAP standard jobs.
Kindly give to me directory.

How to activate job log creation when WPxx dies

Hi all,
Allmost daily one of our SAP work processes dies at OS level.
This leaves some locks open, which freezes the (productive) system for about 10 minutes.
Unfortunately, no OS log is created of this dying WP job.
SM21 only tells us that a WP died, not why.
So no root cause analysis can be done.
How do I trigger / activate the creation of an OS job log whenever a SAP R3 job dies / ends ?
Kind regards,
Paul Hoogendoorn

Hi Paul,
A change of the wp's job description should help:

Unable to delete job logs - Error : file is corrupted or unreadable

Hi,
We are running SolMan on Windows 2003 and there are some very old job logs (dated 2009) in "F:\usr\sap\sid\SYS\global\000JOBLG\" which we are unable to remove.
The error is "The file or directory is corrupted or unreadable". Because of this, Data Protector backup always has errors.
I have run "RSBTCDEL2" but these logs were not removed.
Is there a way to remove these stubborn old job logs?
Thanks in advance

Hi Sisab,
Best is to determine whether you actually have the jobs from 2009 ( completed / Cancelled ones ) in your Solution manager system. If they donot exist in the job tables ( normally can be seen using transaction SM37 and a date range ), just go ahead and delete the joblogs from the OS level from 2009.

Reading and writing a JOB LOG

Hi
How do we read the job log?
How do we display it?
Regards
Nishant

HI
GOOD
GO THROUGH THIS
Use
All message types issued by a program running in the background are stored in a job log, which you can display either to obtain information on a prematurely terminated program or to complete a detailed investigation of a particular background processing run. A separate log file is created for each job.
Deleting Log Files
You should never delete log files directly. If you want to clear the log directory, you must delete the jobs to which the logs belong. In the process, the logs are also deleted.
Job logs are held in the TemSe temporary sequential objects storage facility. TemSe is configured to always store job logs as operating system files in the shared SAP directories. If you delete log files directly at the operating system level, you create inconsistencies in the TemSe database, which you'll then need to eliminate with the Consistency check function in Transaction SP12.
Log Messages
Log messages are generally output using ABAP keyword MESSAGE. With the exception of ABAP breakpoint statistics, no other data is normally output to the job log.
ABAP Short Dumps
If an ABAP program generated a dump when it terminated abnormally, you can display the dump by clicking on the Abend message.
Batch Input Messages
Messages output during batch input sessions are not recorded in the job log. These messages are output only to the batch input system.
Procedure
       1.      Go to Select Background Jobs using Transaction SM37 or by choosing CCMS ® Jobs ® Maintenance.
       2.      Select the jobs you want to review in the job log by specifying conditions that identify the job or jobs, including job name, user name, job status, start condition, or contents of a job step. Execute this selection to see a list of jobs that match these criteria.
       3.      In the Job overview screen, select your desired job and choose Job log.
       4.      In the Job Log Entries for ).
       6.      For further information about a particular item in the job log, select the line and choose Long text. The resulting help screen can include further information about diagnosing the message, the systems response to the message, and how the user should follow up.

Display error message in batch job log

Hello
I have a batch job running and I have an error coming during some validation logic.
The problem is I need to continue the batch job when this error message comes and it should not cancel the batch job as it is doing currently but display that error message in batch job log, there are more similar error messages coming in job log and job gets finished, but when my error message comes job gets cancelled.
I cannot give it as info message as it will give wrong idea about message type.
Is there any FM by which we can add message in job log?

Sanjeev I have done that but problem is I do not want to give that as Information message but Error message only and continue processing.
If you see in screenshot 3rd message is given by me as information and you can see error messages also 6th and 7th and job continued till it is finished
Basically I want that 'I' to be displayed as 'E'.

Message with IDOC number, created by LSMW, missing in job log in SM37

Hi gurus,
We have a temporary interface which uses LSMW to create IDOCs and update in SAP. It's used for materials, BOMs and document info records. In LSMW we have defined standard message types MATMAS_BAPI, BOMMAT and DOCUMENT_LOAD for the IDOCs. All these have the same problem.
A background job runs and starts LSMW. In the job log in SM37 I want to see which IDOCs were created. For some reason this is different in my development system and my test system, and as far as I know all settings should be the same. In the test system LSMW creates more message lines in the job log, than it does in the dev system. Message number E0-097 is "IDOC XXXX added", and this is missing in the dev system.
This is what it looks like in the dev system:
Data transfer started for object 'MATMAS' (project 'X', subobject 'Y')             /SAPDMC/LSMW   501    I
Import program executed successfully                                                             /SAPDMC/LSMW   509    I
File 'XXX.lsmw.read' exists                                                                               /SAPDMC/LSMW   502    I
Conversion program executed successfully                                                    /SAPDMC/LSMW   513    I
Data transfer terminated for object 'MATMAS' (project 'X', subproject 'Y')       /SAPDMC/LSMW 516    I
And this is what it looks like in the test system. More information, which is exactly what I want in dev system too:
Data transfer started for object 'MATMAS' (project 'X', subobject 'Y')             /SAPDMC/LSMW   501    I
Import program executed successfully                                                             /SAPDMC/LSMW 509    I
File 'XXX.lsmw.read' exists                                                                               /SAPDMC/LSMW 502    I
Conversion program executed successfully                                                    /SAPDMC/LSMW 513    I
File 'XXX.lsmw.conv' exists                                                                              /SAPDMC/LSMW   502   I
IDoc '0000000002489289' added                                                                      E0                         097   S
File 'XXX.lsmw.conv' transferred for IDoc generation                                      /SAPDMC/LSMW   812   I
Data transfer terminated for object 'MATMAS' (project 'X', subproject 'Y')      /SAPDMC/LSMW   516   I
In both cases the IDOC is created and update works fine.
My only issue is that I can't see the IDOC number in the dev system. I know I can get the IDOC number in WE02, but in this case we have program logic which reads the job log to be able to check IDOC status before sending OK message back to the other side of the interface.
I hope any of you can have an idea how I can update somewhere to get message E0-097 with IDOC number into the log.
Regards,
Lisbeth

Hi Arun,
If you want to show your messages in the job log you have to use the MESSAGE statement. In case you use WRITE statements an output list be created which can be found in the spool (there is an icon to go to the spool directly).

How to take the cron job log in HP UX?

Hi,
How to take the cron job log in HP UX
I need to run a backup and other stuff everyday. How do I check and start cron service under HP-UX UNIX operating system? How do I write cron jobs?
A. Cron service is required to run jobs and tasks such as backup.
You must login as the root to run following commands. Each user that is using the cron service must have a cron configuration file in the /var/spool/cron/crontab directory. Also users are permitted if their name appeared in /var/adm/cron/cron.allow file
Task: Find out if cron is running under HP-UX
Type the following command at a shell prompt
# ps -ef | grep cron
Open /etc/rc.config.d/cron file
vi /etc/rc.config.d/cron
Set control variable to 1 to enable cron: CRON=1
Set control variable to 0 to disable: CRON=0
Close and save the file. To start or stop cron you can type the following command:
# /sbin/init.d/cron start <-- start cron
# /sbin/init.d/cron stop <-- stop cron
Task: HP-UX Start cron service
If cron is not running, simply type:
# cron
Task: Edit / create cron jobs
Type the following command to submit a cron job:
# crontab -e
List your cron file:
# crontab -l
Backup all your cron jobs:
# crontab -l > ~/backup.cron.jobs
Remove ALL cron job:
# crontab -r
Task: Crontab file format
Cron file format is as follows:
MIN HOUR DATE MONTH DAY /PATH/TO/COMMAND
0-59 0-23 1-31 1-12 0-6 /root/scripts/backup2tape.shEasy to remember crontab file format:
* * * * * command to be executed
| | | | |
| | | | ----- Day of week (0 - 7) (Sunday=0 or 7)
| | | ------- Month (1 - 12)
| | --------- Day of month (1 - 31)
| ----------- Hour (0 - 23)
------------- Minute (0 - 59)To run /root/script/backup at 23:00, every day, enter:
# crontab -e
Append following
0 23 * * * /root/script/backupRun foo job very weekday (MON-Fri) at 6am, enter:
0 6 * * 1-5 /root/script/backupFor more information refer to cron and crontab man pages.

You might note that all files normally found in /etc/init.d, /etc/rc*.d, and others are all in /sbin in HP-UX 10.20 and up.
Note too that your formatting is off in the description of the /etc/rc.config.d/cron file. Also, if you run /usr/bin/cron instead of /sbin/init.d/cron start, the /etc/rc.config.d/cron file is not used.
Regards,
Satya

I guess it would :)
btw, how did this piece miss from the contents pasted by the OP ?
The doc has given all details of CRON and missed where to see the logfiles. :)
****Added****
I tried man crontab in windows, i dont see it.i overlook most of the things, i would have done the same ;)

Error in Source system (Job is not going in to job log of CRM system)

Hi,
We replicated datasources from CRM server in BI 7 server and they get replicated and are in Active version
All transactiond atasources which are 7.0 version are executing successfully, but the Datasources which are in 3.5 version i.e. Datasource for master data infoobject gives error while executing infopackage.
The error message is as follows:
"Diagnosis
     In the source system, there is no transfer structure available for
     InfoSource 0CRM_MKTMETA_ATTR .
System Response
     The data transfer is terminated.
Procedure
     In the Administrator Workbench, regenerate from this source system the
     transfer structure for InfoSource 0CRM_MKTMETA_ATTR ."
Also while executing the infopackage the job log in source system is not able to create the corresponding job.
Following action are already been taken:
1. Datasource replication
2. Confirmed that the Transfer Structure are avialable and are in ACTIVE state.

Hi
It seems some changes are taken place at Source System for the Mast.Data DS. Try to Recheck the Same at Source System -- Activate/Retranport the same.
BI side.
RSA13Source System Your DS-- Replicate the Data Source -- Try to Run RS_TRANSTRUC_ACTIVATE_ALL(SE38) / Activate Transfer Rules Manually -- Then Full/Re Init -- Delta Uploads
Hope it helps and clear

Error reading job logs of Apps server from Central Instance

Dear Gurus,
We have newly installed system with one CI ( cluster environment) and 2 application Instances.
Systems are recently installed by other team. I am looking into support part after handover.
We have noticed below error while reading failed background job logs from our CI. If suppose any job is failing, we can read respective job log from that application instance but it throws error while reading job log from CI to either of application instance.
I checked /sapmnt/SID/global is shared among all 3 servers and i am successfully able to "Touch a" from applications instances.
Even though i have given "777" permissions to all folders like /sapmnt/SID , /sapmnt/SID/global , /sapmnt/SID/global/400JOB*
I am not able to read job log from CI , for same failed job I can read job log from respective application instance.
Error log :
Error reading job log JOBLGX00080700X39290
Message no. BT167
Diagnosis
The background processing system was unable to read the job log named in the message.
This message suggests that there is a problem with the TEMSE storage system of the SAP system. The TEMSE storage system is a repository for temporary objects, such as job logs and spool requests. Job logs are always stored in the TEMSE as operating system files.
This error occurs if the TEMSE system is not able to find or access the file that contains the text of the job log that you requested. Possible causes for the loss or unavailability of the job log include the following:
Someone deleted the required TEMSE file (from the operating system, not from within the SAP system).
A CRON (or equivalent scheduler) job has deleted the TEMSE file.
The file system in which the TEMSE stores its files is not mounted or is not accessible (NFS problem, disk failure, or similar problem).
The TEMSE reorganize or consistency check functions were used within the SAP system and deleted the job log.
SM21 logs :
Error 2 for write/read access to a file. File = /usr/sap/SID/SYS/global
BP_JOBLOG_SHOW: Failed to display jobs. Reason:
> Error reading job log JOBLGX00080700X39290
Strange this is I can check failed job log on one application instance frfom other application instance but not from CI.
Kindly throw some lights where to check.
Regards,

Hi Shravan,
I guess it is related to permission to /sapmnt/SID/global folder. Please ensure owner is sidadm:sapsys in all the systems viz CI, App servers etc.
Check the mounting options are correctly set with read/write mode.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Deepak Kori

External Operation Job Log

Hello all,
I can't seem to find additional information on this. I have written an exteranl operation in c# and I can run it from the portal without any issue. I know that standard error is supposed to be captured in the job log, however I can't seem to figure out how to write to standard error from a c# console application. Console.error doesn't seem to cut it.
I am using ALUI 6.0 sp1, but I dont' think this has changed much over the years. Has anybody written a c# external operation and been able to write to the job log?
Thanks,
Berney

You could just make it write to stdout and then redirect stdout to stderr like this: "dir 1>&2". I put that in a bat file in the scripts directory and then made the bat an external operation. It wrote to the job logs like this:

I don't think much has changed with this in the portal 6.x world, but it looks like stderr is definitely captured in wci 10.3. If there's a problem with an older version, start a support ticket to investigate a possible bug.

Writing in SM37 Job Log

Hi Abappers,
I have a requirement in which I am displaying all the error messages in an ALV when my program runs in Foreground. But this program runs in background, those error messages must be displayed in the Job Log of SM37.
I should not raise any error or information messages to come in log automatically as it affects the foreground processing of my program.
Is there any FM to write in the Job log?? Or can I use the Message statement in such a way that it is not diaplayed in forground?
Thanks in Advance,

Hi,
Try this.
If you are using ALV grid in the foreground, use the same without without creating the container (basically check the SY-BATCH, before creating a container). Then the same ALV grid will create a spool with all the messages during background execution.

Sharin Varghese

Write Message in Job Log from FM

Hi everyone,
I´m having an issue trying to find the way to write a message in job log.
I´ve read a lot of solutions but I can't find anyone that describes how to do it from a function module.
What i'm saying is that all the answers focus on reports and I have to develop this from a function module.
If anyone can help me with that, I´ll appreciate it.
Thanks everyone.
Best regards.
Pablo.

Hi Thomas,
Thanks por replying. MESSAGE statement does not work.
Regarding the last question, it can´t be done like that .
