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 .
Regards.
Pablo.

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?

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.

Job logs from the original system after Unicode conversion.

Dear Globalization experts,
We are doing Unicode conversion and would like to know, if the Job logs from the batch jobs, executed before conversion (system with a 1100 code page), would be readable in the Unicode system after the conversion. We will move job log files from the source to the target system. I . Thank you in advance for your help.
Best regards,
Alik Shapiro

Hi Alik,
I have strong doubts that this will work ...
From SAP notes 842767 and 901004 you can see, that spool data will not be converted properly by default.
In general this is valid for data stored in TemSe, as this is by definition temporary data (see for example http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/d9/4a8f9c51ea11d189570000e829fbbd/content.htm ).
However I actually did not test it, so I am not 100% sure.

Write to AWS job log

How can I write to the automation server job log file from my EDK AWS? This AWS does more then just return Groups and Users and I need to write to the log file the results of the additional operations.
Please let me know how to implements this.

Currently, the protocol between the portal and the remote web services only permits writing custom log messages from a crawler, but not from an authentication service or a profile service.
We are considering this feature for future releases; in the meantime, you may want to follow the pattern we use for our own products, which use Log4N or Log4J to write a remote log file. In the case of a critical error that the administrator needs to know about, throw an exception with a message; in 5.0.1 this message did not get put in the job log, but in 5.0.2 it does.

How to write to windows event logs from determinations-server under IIS

This is just an FYI technical bit of information I wish someone had shared with me before I started trying to write OPA errors to the windows event log... Most problems writing to the windows event log from log4net occur because of permissions. Some problems are because determinations-server does not have permissions to create some registry entries. Some problems cannot be resolved unless specific registry entry permissions are actually changed. We had very little consistency with the needed changes across our servers, but some combination of the following would always get the logging to the windows event log working.
To see log4net errors as log4net attempts to utilize the windows event log, temporarily add the following to the web.config:
<appSettings>

<add key="log4net.Internal.Debug" value="true"/>
</appSettings>
<system.diagnostics>
<trace autoflush="true">
<listeners>
<add
name="textWriterTraceListener"
type="System.Diagnostics.TextWriterTraceListener"
initializeData="logs/InfoDSLog.txt" />
</listeners>
</trace>
</system.diagnostics>
To add an appender for the windows event viewer, try the following in the log4net.xml:
<appender name="EventLogAppender" type="log4net.Appender.EventLogAppender" >
<param name="ApplicationName" value="OPA" />
<param name="LogName" value="OPA" />
<param name="Threshold" value="all" />
<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
<conversionPattern value="%date [%thread] %-5level %logger [%property{NDC}] - %message%newline" />
</layout>
<filter type="log4net.Filter.LevelRangeFilter">
<levelMin value="WARN" />
<levelMax value="FATAL" />
</filter>
</appender>
<root>
<level value="warn"/>
<appender-ref ref="EventLogAppender"/>
</root>
To put the OPA logs under the Application Event Log group, try this:
Create an event source under the Application event log in Registry Editor. To do this, follow these steps:
1.     Click Start, and then click Run.
2.     In the Open text box, type regedit.
3.     Locate the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Eventlog\Application
4.     Right-click the Application subkey, point to New, and then click Key.
5.     Type OPA for the key name.
6.     Close Registry Editor.
To put the OPA logs under a custom OPA Event Log group (as in the demo appender above), try this:
Create an event log in Registry Editor. To do this, follow these steps:
1.     Click Start, and then click Run.
2.     In the Open text box, type regedit.
3.     Locate the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Eventlog
4.     Right-click the eventlog subkey, point to New, and then click Key.
5.     Type OPA for the key name.
6.     Right-click the new OPA key and add a new DWORD called "MaxSize" and set it to "1400000" which is about 20 Meg in order to keep the log file from getting too large.
7.     The next steps either help or sometimes cause an error, but you can try these next few steps... If you get an error about a source already existing, then you can delete the key.
8.     Right-click the OPA subkey, point to New, and then click Key.
9.     Type OPA for the key name.
10.     Close Registry Editor.
You might need to change permissions so OPA can write to the event log in Registry Editor. If you get permission errors, try following these steps:
1.     Click Start, and then click Run.
2.     In the Open text box, type regedit.
3.     Locate the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Eventlog
4.     Right-click the EventLog key, select Permissions.
5.     In the dialog that pops up, click Add...
6.     Click Advanced...
7.     Click Locations... and select the current machine by name.
8.     Click Find Now
9.     Select both the Network user and IIS_IUSERS user and click OK and OK again. (We never did figure out which of those two users was the one that fixed our permission problem.)
10.     Change the Network user to have Full Control
11.     Click Apply and OK
To verify OPA Logging to the windows event logs from Determinations-Server:
Go to the IIS determinations-server application within Server Manager.
Under Manage Application -> Browse Application click the http link to pull up the local "Available Services" web page that show the wsdl endpoints.
Select the /determinations-server/server/soap.asmx?wsdl link
Go to the URL and remove the "?wsdl" from the end of the url and refresh. This will throw the following error into the logs:
ERROR Oracle.Determinations.Server.DSServlet [(null)] - Invalid get request: /determinations-server/server/soap.asmx
That error should show up in the windows event log, OR you can get a message explaining why security stopped you in "logs/InfoDSLog.txt" if you used the web.config settings from above.

How to write messages into system log(sm21) using c_write_syslog_entry

Hi,
May i know how to write my application messages into system log(sm21)
using "c_write_syslog_entry". Any explanation regarding the Type. ID, Data
will be useful with examples. Incase of any other FM's or C functions does
the same Please let me know.
Thanks
Prasath

Hello Prasanth
I agree with Kareem that you should prefer the application log. If interface IF_RECA_MESSAGE_LIST is available on your SAP system this is the first choice for collecting messages AND storing them as application log.
For an example you may 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]
Not shown in this example is the storage of the application log. However, if you look at method CF_RECA_MESSAGE_LIST=>CREATE you see that you can add the application log references here.

Uwe

E-Mailing Background Job Log from SM36

Friends,
Is there a way that you can set up automatic emailing of the log from a periodic background job set in SM36? I want this log to be sent to few external E-mail IDs.
Let me know.
Thanks
Jagadish

Dear Jagadish,
In my previous project we have achieved the same requirement,like sending the mail to particular User Id's
for a background run job.
Check with these steps,
Go to T code S023 > create>enter some name and Title->Folder ->private or shared one>Save->
back button->select name & change then recipient name mail address-->recipient type --->internet
address and then save.
In SM36 before scheduling the job click on spool list recipient and assign the one which you have
created,then you schedule the job ,give some job name and then save.
Before doing the above steps ask your BASIS consultant whether sending mails is active,the same can be
checked in T code SCOT.
Check and revert back whether you are successfful or not.

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

The scenario is.....
we are in an appraisal form thru txn phap_admin...
now for goal weightage.....there is a std check ...for entered value.....check value for multiple of 5.....
if we enter weightage as 4 ...system will make it 5 and a std POPUP will display stating that the value 4 has been changed....
this is a std log....
now i have to implement a badi HRHAP00_VAL_DET......for calculating the total weightage.....
I have to throw an error if the total weightage is less then 100%....
i cant use message type 'E'...in Badi...
so i want to add my error message in the std log...so that both message comes in one log/popup only.....
If you goto se80...and for function group HRHAP_UI_DOCUMENT....
you can seen the subroutine...

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

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'.
