Log for running programs

Given a program name, is there a way for me to check if it has already been executed?
There is a number of conversion programs that are recommended by SAP to run after upgrade and I would like to aviod running them twice for fear of negative impact.

Hi Jeremy,
Hope you can check it through the Table CDHDR or CDPOS with the Transaction name or Use the Transaction RSSCD100 and give the appropriate Object Class and check for the Execution date if it has created/Change entry done before.
Hope it solves your query.
Regards
Andrew

How to See logs for custom programs from without the logviewer in NWA

Hello Experts,
The JavaAS developers want to see the logs for their custom programs from without the logviewer in NWA.
Do you have any experience or know of any reference materials to instruct them on where to write their logs, and how to configure NWA to see them?
Thanks
Jibin.

Hello Jibin,
Your developers should familiarize themselves with the Logging Framework of the J2EE Engine.
Here is the guide:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/EN/a2/15ab41d60bcb46e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
If they use the Logging Framework you would be able to access the logs through NWA.

Cannot write the suitable source codes for running program

I want to write a program that help student to compile program and run program by using some test cases. For the compiled part, i have been wrote it successfully, but for the run part, i cannot pass the test cases to the program for running. Could any ppl help me to find the problem on the followng codes, why the error will on there? how do i change it? Thanks!
//
java.io.BufferedReader TestCaseBuf = null;

stmt = con.createStatement();
rs = stmt.executeQuery(strSQL);
try
while (rs.next())
TestCaseBuf = new java.io.BufferedReader(new java.io.InputStreamReader(rs.getBinaryStream("testValue")));
finally
if (rs != null)
     rs.close();
if (stmt != null)
     stmt.close();

     String line= null;
     try

     pwriter.write(atestcase+"\r");
pwriter.flush();
if (atestcase != null)
          if ((line = ireader.readLine()) != null)
          FileOutput = FileOutput + line +"\r\n";
else {break; }
     } //while

     e.printStackTrace();
     pwriter.close();
     ireader.close();
catch (java.io.IOException e)
out.println("[IOException]. Printing Stack Trace");
e.printStackTrace();
//

Whats the error message??
Just a guess, but could be (without seeing the error) that you've already closed the TestCaseBuf reader by closing the result set, hence when you go to read it, you're reading on closed reader.
Give this a go...Put the // code into the result set while loop
while (rs.next())
TestCaseBuf = new java.io.BufferedReader(new java.io.InputStreamReader(rs.getBinaryStream("testValue")));
//
...some code
//
} Hard to tell without the error message

Hello,
Via NWA I am not sure it is possible without logviewer, but via Portal you can if you are able to create an application with help of NWDS which will read log from OS level (need to provide path for default trace in your application) show on frontend.
Then deploy this on portal.

Checking for running programs using a abap program

Is there a way in ABAP to detect from within a program that another process is running the same program? Meaning if PROG1 is running, could PROG1 check to see if another process is running program PROG1?

Use the locking concept. You can either create your own, or a popular one to use is ESINDX, passing parameters: relid 'ZZ', SRTFD program name, and SRTF2 = 0.
The logic is:
Attempt to get lock (FM ENQUEUE_ESINDX, perhaps).
If lock got -> run program
If lock not got -> quit.
You have to put this logic at the start of your program.

Logs for checking program execution.

Hi All,
We have a ABAP program in our process chain, that FTP's the contents of an InfoSpoke to an externel server.
It is possible to run this FTP probram directly in SE38 and so I would like to know if there is a way by which we can see the logs of when the problem was executed?
Is there a table that stores when a program was executed?
Thanks
Arvind

If it is run as a background job, any messages created by the ABAP will be visible in SM37.

Using standalone vs. opensolaris for running programs in FPGA model?!

Was anyone able to do anything other than print a simple string using a standalone program in the openSPARC FPGA implementation? If so, would you please share your experience and what tools/libraries did u make use of?
I am hitting a limitation in running even basic applications because I have NO libraries to access not even <stdlib.h>.
For those out there using opensolaris to run your applications, did u need to install peripheral drivers? Do u have access to timers and other peripherals? Also, do u ftp ur C applications or do u build them in ur solaris sysACE file?
Help is very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Faycel

got same problem here. I was thinking to add input feature so that user can type input via hyper terminal and get result. I was using scanf but it is very difficult to add this syntax. I got errors. If you notice, the /examples/src/libc contains only printf.c file. we need to add scanf.c file in order to use scanf syntax. but I couldnt find how.
Below is the links that provide source codes for scanf (and others).
[http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/onnv/onnv-gate/usr/src/lib/libc/port/stdio/scanf.c]
[http://www.koders.com/c/fid4E0FA789459803C1E4369279B96E5C9B257941C8.aspx?s=printf#L7]
let me know if you can run your own program on FPGA Opensparc T1.
Thanks.

Detailed log for external programs is not found

Hi Guys,
I have scheduled many SAP Jobs for which the steps are external programs ( Basically Unix Scripts ).
Even though they are completing successfully, and I can see the logs like below, But it is not in detail. Both the detailed log screen we used to get in SAP, and the recent log screen in Redwood are provided here. Can you please suggest what I need to do to get the detailed logs in Redwood?
The SAP detailed Logs:
The Recent redwood logs.
BR
Madhu

Hey Madhu,
When you execute an exernal program that is already defined in SAP, from Redwood, it is still an SAP job for Redwood (not unix job), hence Redwood cannot obtain that details.
the best way to do this is to install a platform agent in the Unix system and schedule the script directly from Redwood instead of through SAP.
How/Where did you get the detailed log screen in SAP. Can you please provide the steps to reproduce?
What you have now:
Redwood-->SAP-->Unix
What you should have:
Redwood-->Unix.
thanks
Nanda

Log for report program

Hi experts,
Can I have information about...if a program has been deleted then is there any log maintained for that??
so that we can make sure that program has been deleted.
Reg,
Rajesh

There is no log, when program is deleted.
Probably you can verify with table TADIR after deleting a program.

Check system for running program

Hello,
I'm putting together a java application that is supposed to lunch another program (matlab). However I need to first check to see if the program has been started from outside my java application. Is there any way to queery the system to find out if there is a program running.
I'm working in the windows environment
Thanks,
Michael
[email protected]

Thanks for the hints, I'm now trying to query the windows Task manager to find out if there is an active copy of the matlab application running.
On your suggestion to check for a matlab API, I have looked into thier supported API functions but they are all beta and rather buggy.
Thanks,

Best Optimization settings on my PC for running Creative Suite programs?

Hi, I just downloaded the Creative Suite on my PC. I am afraid the my PC is not currently set for best optimization for running programs such as Photoshop and After Effects. While working in After Effects I had problems with pixelated images. I'm working with a Lenovo (IBM), Intel (R) Pentium (R) CPU G2030 3.00 GHZ Processor, 4.00 gb of RAM (3.90 available currently), 64 bit OS, x64 based processor. I know it's not the ideal system, but I don't use it for anything else but the Creative Suite. Any suggestions besides pitching it and purchasing a mac?

Sorry it was while working in Photoshop that I experienced pixelated images.

When running a BI session, what is "detailed/extended log" for?

Hello all,
I couldn't find any information about "detailed log" checkbox (forum, notes, online help, sap library, google).
It is displayed in a popup when we run a BI session from SM35 transaction. It's also the LOGALL parameter ("extended log") of RSBDCSUB program.
By debugging the system, I noticed that it was used only with All-screen and Error-only display modes. In No-screen mode, the BI session is run with detailed log on.
In All-screen and Error-only modes, the message 00355 "Transaction was processed successfully" is not stored in the log if the detailed log option is off.
Are there any other differences?
Thx a lot

Thx Harald, I missed it.
But unfortunately, it doesn't work as described, or there is something I don't understand. You can try with the following code which changes FR 1234567890 bank name to sy-uzeit using FI02 transaction (please create the bank before running the program), and produces both S and W messages, whatever extended log is on or off. The only difference is about the message number 00355 as I stated previously.

We have "dbbackup.exe" in SqlAnywhere in BI 4.1 for running the transaction log truncation/backup. This wasn't present in BOXI 3.1. Any alternative for 3.1?

1) OS version:
OS Name : Windows Server 2008 R2
2) BO version:
    BusinessObjects XI 3.1 SP05.
3) My question:
    We have “dbbackup.exe” utility in SqlAnywhere in BI 4.1 for running the transaction log ( CMS and Audit) truncation/backup. But the same utility was not present in BOXI 3.1 SP05 for backup.
   Is there an equivalent/alternative utility in BOXI 3.1 SP05 for the same purpose? We use the command below for BI 4.1 Transaction Log truncation/backup:
E:\Program Files\SAP BusinessObjects\sqlanywhere\BIN64>dbbackup.exe -c "dsn=<System DSN>;uid=< SQL_AW_DBA_UID>;pwd=< SQL_AW_DBA_PASSWD>;host=localhost:2638" -t -x -n "E:
\Transaction_log_backup\CMS"
Any help or clarification on this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Conor.

Hi Conor,
BOXI 3.1 SP05 does not include the dbbackup utility. Instead, you issue SQL statements to create the backup. We published a paper on the subject:
http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-48608
The paper uses a maintenance plan to schedule regular backups, but you don't need to do that if you want to simply create a backup when required. To do that (along with transaction log truncation), you run the SQL statement:
BACKUP DATABASE DIRECTORY 'backup-dir'
TRANSACTION LOG TRUNCATE;
For complete details about the BACKUP statement, have a look here:
http://dcx.sap.com/index.html#1201/en/dbreference/backup-statement.html
You'll need to execute the statement inside a SQL console - the paper above describes how to get that.
I hope this helps!
