Regarding Messages to Job Log

Hi,
What is a Job Log.
i have to write messages to job log.
how to do this.
how can i see that messages whether it is written or not.
how it can be seen to the client/user.
regards,
kiran

Hi Kiran
Use 'write' to display the message in the job log.
write : / log_message.
Place this statement after the block of statements in your program where you want the message to be displayed in the log.
You can see the job log in SM37 transaction.
hope this helps you.
regards

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 .

Write message to Job log with message class and message number

hi folk,
When running a background job I'm able to write a message to the job log using the statement - Message "some text..." type 'I'.
In the Job log I can see the message "some text.." with a "default" message class and message number (but in my report i don't specify any message ID) so I have no idea it comes from.
Then I try to send a message where I specify the message class/number etc...using message id 'Z1' number 000 with "some text..." In the job log I now can see the "right" message class "Z1" and the number 000, but the message is empty?
Please advice how to write a message with the message class and message number.
Best regards

Hi Linh,
How did you provide the text "Some message"? Did you hard code it or used a text element?

How to display custom error message in Job log for batch processing

Hi All,
I am rexecuting one R/3 report in batch mode and i want to display all the custom error i have handled in job log when its executed from SM36,SM37. The custom error are like 'Delovery/Shipmet doe not exits' or others which we can display in online mode like message e100(ZFI) or any other way and accordingly we can handle the program control like come out of the program ro leave to transaction'Zxxx' or anything. But i want my program to be executed completely and accumulate all the error in job log of batch processing.
Can anyone tell me how can i do so...
Thanks,

Confusing error message in job log of infocube loading job

Hello,
I executed a job which runs a process chain. The process chain has two important steps: It extracts tranaction data from a planning area in an infocube and it loads APO-relevant master data (materials, plants) from R3 system in the same infocube.
Almost every step of this process seems to be executed correctly. The loading process ended successfully. But the spool of the job is a bit confusing:
Loaded CVC's are all listed and appear with a green traffic light. Master data appear with a red traffic light and with the comment: Product xxx does not exist. The same with the location.
Does anybody know why the signals are red in this case.
In APO and R3 all listed master data are available - in the planning area as well as in the infocube after the data loading.
So, I am very confused about this message text in the spool because everything seems to be ok....
Thanks in advance
Best regards
H.Becker

Hello Heinz,
First of all, we need to be sure regarding which step the particular log correspoinds to.
You mentioned that your process chain has 2 steps.
Do you know how to look at the logs for a particular step of a process chain?
Go to RSPC, double click on your process chain, and then click the log button at the top?
You would now be in the log view. Then double-click on the step no.1, and see the information contained in the central tab named "backg". Does this contain the errors corresponding to you reds (that location or product does not exist)?
If not, repeat the same step for step 2.
Once you are sure regarding the step against which you are getting your error, please share soe more info regarding the step.
Then we could look further into the possible cause.
PS: Your first message itself was very confusing. You mentioned that you get transaction data from planning area to the cube, and you also get CVCs (location/products) from R/3 source system to the cube. This is very confusing.
Thanks - Pawan

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'.
Display error message in batch job log

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).

John.

Regarding capturing VF01 ERROR logs in a background job

Hi ,
We are running a background job that calls transaction VF01 via BDC .
CALL TRANSACTION 'VF01' USING   bdcdata

                          UPDATE N
                          MESSAGES INTO gt_messtab.
In some cases billing documents will not be generated. In such cases systems will throw message "Check the log "
After which we can check the error messages via Menu Edit>logs.
This error messages (stored in XVBFS internal table) need to captured in the job log i.e custom programme.
Unfortunately i could not found any user exits/BADIs that can help me in capturing message.
Can you please help me how can i solve this issue?
Thanks in advance

Hi Manoj,
I had a similar problem.
I solved it selecting from VBSK the last record of the user regarding elaboration of invoices, and then calling f.m. 'VBSK_ALV_DISPLAY'.
Otherwise you could call directly transaction "V.21"
Hope this could help you

Job log messages in BPM

Hi All,
I am doin Business Process Monitoring for monitoring batch jobs of a satellite system so that we will be getting tickets when some job is cancelling.
for cancellation of jobs SD tickets are generating.
now the requirement is to genarate a SD ticket for the successful job completion.
in BPm we have one option as "job log messages" in Background job monitoring type.
can we do it from there? How will the information be displayed in the ticket for job completion?
we are defining some threshold values also in that option. how those threshold values will help in generating SD ticket.
can anyone please suggest some idea.
thanks
Tripti

Hi,
You can monitor job log message with Business Process Monitoring in two ways (for an alert description see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_smehp1/helpdata/en/99/b45f54119044f19d389b2cad3430bc/frameset.htm)
a) Error messages:
Use case: You want to create alerts/notifications if background job creates more than N error messages in the job log.
-> Use the upper limit for yellow/red alerts.
-> Example: Job canceled ->monitor message of class 00 and with ID 564 (type A)
b) Success messages:
Use case: You want to create alerts/notifications if background job creates less than N success messages in the job log (Usually you want to watch the create of follow documents or the successful update of documents)
-> Use the lower limit for yellow/red alerts
-> Example: Job finished without error -> monitor message of class 00 and with ID 517 (type S).
In both cases you will get a green rating - but no notification - if conditions for yellow/red alert are not met. Notifications (manual and automatic creation) are allowed for yellow and red alerts only.

Regarding Job Log Content.

Hi all,
I want to sent the content of the job log through mail for the failed jobs.
Can anybody tell me how to get the content of the joblog in an internal table?
I am able to check the status of the job from the table TBTCO.But unable to
find how the joblog information is being fetched??
Please help me out with this.
Thanks and Regards.
syed.

syed,
you can use the FM 'BP_JOBLOG_READ' passing the client, jobcount, joblogid and jobname. The jobcount and joblogid can be obtained from the TBTCO table for the date/time of the job execution.
the log content is then returned back in the tables parameter 'joblogtbl'.

Reporting agent in BW 3.0b- Job log message is-No alert data found

Hi,
I am using reporting agent in BW 3.0b to send and alert email to the user.
There is a query in which I have used one restricted key figure to calculate the exception. I am able to display this in the report. In Bex analyzer I am getting the value.
But When I schedule the package for Reporting agent I am getting in the job log as " No alert data has been found".
I searched sdn before posting and did not get proper solution for this.
Could you please let me know the use of expception in Reporting agent in BW 3.0b. Do I need to write any user exit for this???
Reards,
Raghu

Hi,
You can define threshold values (exceptions) for a query. Data that varies from these thresholds is highlighted in color or marked with icons. You can use these exceptions to identify deviations from expected results at a glance.
Defining and Changing Exceptions
1. In the Exceptions screen area, choose New Exception in the context menu. An entry with the default text Exception <Number> appears and you can edit the description directly.
2.In the context menu, choose Edit. The exception editor appears; it displays the relevant parts for the definition on tab pages.
You can also call the exception editor from the Properties screen area by choosing the Edit pushbutton.
3.      Make the required settings for the definition of the exception. For more information, see Definition of Exceptions.
4.      Choose OK. You return to the query definition.
5.      Choose Save Query.
Removing Exceptions from Queries
       1.      In the Exceptions screen area, select the relevant exception and choose Remove in the context menu.
       2.      Choose Save Query.
Result
You have defined or changed an exception for a query. Execute the query. The exception is evaluated online. The cell areas that are affected by the exception appear highlighted in the appropriate color or, where applicable, with icons in Web applications.
You can display the exception descriptions and activate or deactivate the exceptions you want.

Suppress job log messages

Folks, we have a custom program that calls the BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE and it writes a number of information messages (like "Date is in the past", "Not possible to determine a batch", "PO number already exists", so on and so forth) which gets written to the job log. To clarify, when you go to SM37 and select your job and click Job Log, a number of these messages are shown which is generating such a huge log that our job gets cancelled due to its sheer size. Please note that this is not the SPOOL I am talking about.
I have tried to call the BAPI in several ways like using "DESTINATION 'NONE'", calling in background task, and also SUBMIT but I still haven't gotten any luck. The huge log is causing problems with one of our jobs and we need it for UAT next week. I have opened a note with OSS and we are running into administrative issues. We do not want to go the Call transaction route.
Is anybody familiar with this sort of issue? I searched everywhere and could not find anything similar or maybe I am not searching it right. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sridhar

Thanks Greetson. What you have provided are Sales Order create BAPI's. The RETURN parameters are different from the log messages. Look at my code below. I have no write statements but the BAPI is writing out these. This is an uncommon situation for some. I would appreciate if you can point me to some FM which changes sales order. Thanks a lot.

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.

Deepak Kori

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
