Writing Application Log of SAP PI

Hi All,
I have a requirement to update the Application Log of SAP PI 7.1 with Ehp1 whenever mapping for a particular pair of Sender and Receiver is executed.
SenderA (JMS) -> SAP PI (update Application Log; SLG1) -> ReceiverA (JMS).
I have already seen this blog: /people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2006/09/20/xi-abap-mapping-logs--more-standard-better-visibility but it seems to be written long back.
How should this be done in PI?
Thanks
Pankaj

You can do this with an RFC lookup in message mapping, or with a BPM by calling an abap proxy that post a log in SLG1.

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]

Application Log in SAP AII

The following log Backend integrated documents are not supported is found while trying to give complete document for free pack in exception handling (AUTO-ID COCKPIT).
Can anyone say what could be the reason for the specified log?

Hi Hari,
System logs activities in SAP GTS system for various objects, including document blocks in SAP Compliance Management for the customs documents that are replicates of logistics documents from the feeder system and similar such data is also recorded by the system for references at a latter stage for other areas as well. These are known as application logs. For a quick reference, you can use Tcode SLG1 and look at the various things it has. I hope this is what you asked for. For more information, please feel free to ask and of course keep posting.

Aman

Custom error message in SAP application log

Is there a way to add a custom error message to the SAP application log without passing the message variables MSGV1, MSGV2, MSGV3, MSGV4 and the Message class and number.
We want to pass a custom message from the BAPIRET2-MESSAGE without giving it a Message class and number. The reason for this is that we are using class based exceptions instead of the traditional message class with errors. When we catch the class based exception, we take the error text of the exception and put in in the BAPIRET2-message and set the BAPIRET2-TYPE as 'E'. Now we want to add this to the SAP application log.
The call to 'BAL_LOG_MSG_ADD' takes a structure BAL_S_MSG which is just like BAPIRET2. However this function builds the entry to the application log use the message variables MSGV1, MSGV2, MSGV3, MSGV4. There is no provision to pass in the BAPIRET2 message.
Add message to application log
CALL FUNCTION 'BAL_LOG_MSG_ADD'
 EXPORTING
 i_log_handle = app_log_handle
 i_s_msg = log_message
Thanks,
Jay

Hi Jay,
Did you see BAL_LOG_EXCEPTION_ADD?
This FM is represented by the structure BAL_S_EXC. This can have various versions as described below:
Data of BAL_S_EXC Structure / Use
EXCEPTION / Exception class from which an exception text
 is added to the log. This field must be filled.
MSGTY / Message type (MSGTY) of a T100 message.
 This field must also be filled for exceptions.
PROBCLASS,
DETLEVEL,
ALSORT, TIME_STMP / Message or exception attributes, such as
 problem class (PROBCLASS, for
 example, "very important"), level of detail
 (DETLEVEL, from 1 to 9), sort criterion
 (ALSORT, unrestricted) and timestamp
 (TIME_STMP). These fields can be displayed
 in the log (except TIME_STMP).
MSG_COUNT / This attribute is not used for exceptions.
Follow the link below for more details:

SAP Application Log

Hi All,
The requirment is to create a Standard SAP Application Log using a Function module 'BAL_LOG_CREATE' and each successfull work order update should create a message in the log using FM 'BAL_LOG_MSG_ADD'. Each failed work order update should result in a exception being added to the log using BAL_LOG_EXCEPTIOn_ADD'.
please guide me on how these FM's should be used for creating the Standard SAP Application log.
Thanks in Advance.

hi tina,
please give specific SAPGUI you're using. Is it SAPGUI for Windows or SAPGUI for Java ?

Urgent help needed on writing errors in to windows events application logs

Hi all,
we have web based application. Whenever there is critical errors encounters in our application we need to write that errors in to windows
event viewer, application logs. Please help me on how to do this.
do we have any specific API for this ?
thanks in advance
Shivakumar

You should use WinAPI to do so. Asking in JNI forum (or specialized WinAPI forum) for more details is good idea I think.

SAP TABLE TO VIEW THE APPLICATION LOGS OF IDOCS

Hi,
Can you please suggest where I can see the table to view the application logs in idocs. We can see this individually in SLG1 or MM90. But I need to see it collectively to see all the error messages. Please suggest.

Hi
You can check tables:
EDIDC- for control records
EDID4-for Data Records
EDIDS-for Status records
You can also use T Code WE02 or WE05

XI 7.0 NW 2004s install - JMS Errors in applications.log & defaultTrace

We just installed XI 7.0 NW 2004s. The installation of XI 7.0 NW 2004s is a lot simpler than XI 3.0 NW 2004 since the Template installer runs most of the post installation steps.
However, there are a few issues that I am encountering that i did not see with XI 3.0 installations. The installation is on Windows 2003 server and SQL server 2005.
Checking the applications.log file through Visual Administrator LogViewer, I see that the Applications log is filing up every few seconds with the following repeating errors:

This is filing up both the applications.log and defaultTrace files. I cannot find any information through Service Marketplace. Has anyone encountered this issue? This is new installation - no messages are running on it so I am not sure why there is a JMS error.
Regards,
Jay

Hi Jay,
The exception means that the JMS Provider is not able to write to the transaction log file upon close of a transacted session. In NW04s, JMS transactions are stored as files on the local file system. The location of the root folder where the transactions are persisted is configured by the JMS service property "transactionStorePath". You can check its value through the Visual Administrator -> Services-> JMS Provider -> Properties. Please check if it contains a correct directory path and that nothing prevents the server from writing to this path - access rights, enough disk space, etc. If there is something wrong with the path, you can change it, save the change and restart the JMS provider service for the change to become effective.
You can also have a closer look at the server trace file: the root cause of the above exception is some other exception, probably I/O one, and it should be logged somewhere in adjacency to the JMS exception.
There is ongoing JMS communication even in a new server installation - in this case (judging from the stack trace) the component that performs this JMS activity is the timeout service.
Hope this helps,
Stoyan

RFC function to retrieve application log

Hi,
does anybody know a standard SAP RFC function module to read an application log? So far I haven't been able to find one...
Please note that I'm not looking for any custom RFC wrappers around standard SAP functions or any solutions to read the data directly from the database tables.
Thanks for your help, harald

Hi Sidarth and Elini,
thanks for the answers. Sidarth my goal is to find a standard SAP function module. Writing a wrapper is trivial, but is not helpful as a general solution (e.g. when working on multiple systems including some, where you don't have development access).
Elini, I looked at the function module C1CA_READ_APPLICATION_LOG, but it's not what I'm looking for (should've been more specific): It doesn't exist in SAP4.6c (support package level 48) and it's only a wrapper to present a dialog. I need an RFC function module to return an application log, dialog processing is not desired.
Thanks for the feedback. Does anybody have any other suggestions?
Best wishes, harald

Who uses Application Logs?

Hey there, I just wanted to understand more about the usage of application logs. Do any of you use it for debugging/analysis purposes of your applications? For those that use it, would you mind explain how you use it etc.
Sorry, I'm pretty much an ABAP newbie.

I used Application Logs to get errors or other messages for RFC Calls etc in most of my Custom BAPIs.
See this\
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/3a/c8263712c79958e10000009b38f936/content.htm
It doesnt help you much but definetly gives you some idea.
There are a bunch of function modules to help in getting Application Logs. Theoritically an Application Log is similar to System Log. But System Log is for the whole SAP system where are an Application log is specific to the Custom Object (and sometimes even sub-object) that you create and assign to.
Pros: If improves performance by reducing number of database hits and writing the logs locally.
Cons: A lot of effort is needed for initial setup.
If this helps, award points suitably.

Exporting and Importing Data of Application Log

Hello,
We do migrate an application from SAP System A to SAP System B.
Despite the application logic, we do need to migrate some data, too.
For this we do write an export report in System A that writes the data of some tables to files on the app server..
Another report in system B takes the files and fills the respecting tables.
So far so good:
One table (which reports certain actions) contains the handle to the application log, which was created for this action.
I do want to extract this application log and later import this log in the other system, but do not know how this can be done in the best way.
Do you have any suggestion ?
Best regards
Michael

In my experience, it's an unrealistic expectation.
SAP doesn't provide a straight path to migrate logs the way you plan to do. It's kept in a combination of tables and index files on the system. So even if you were to successfully extract it, when you load the data into system B you will lose the date and time stamp. When you create a log entry, it picks up system date and time. That's what an auditor would look for.
An alternate solution would be to read the application log and store it in a new custom table in system B.
Any reporting should be done off that as of a specific date.

To add message in Application Log in Me2xn

Hello Experts,
This is my requirement.
During creation of PO item it is required to put a check if the Vendor is one among the Vendors in the table: ZTABLE.
If yes, it means that the PO is an internal order. Then you should check if the flag: GR Non-valuated is set for the newly added items.
If not, send out an error into the application log when the document is saved, so that the user is notified and it has to be checked to make the document complete for further processing.
I have implemented is check in the exit EXIT_SAPMM06E_012. But I don't know how to update the application log.
Could you please send some sample code to update the application log saying that the PO is inetrnal Order
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Vasanth,
in this case u have to USE BADI only ,
path-.Se18->f4--.SAP Application and check under ME package.

Issue regarding application log in standard program RPCLMSU0

System Status: SAP ECC6, SP15.
This probem has been observed after we have upgraded from 4.6C.
In the include RPCLMSUF of the Report RPCLMSU0, there is an FM BAL_LOG_MSG_ADD, which adds messages to an application log.
A structure is passed to the FM, of type bal_s_msg.
The first 3 components of the structure are of type:
sy-msgt, sy-msgid and sy-msgno.
These should normally be filled in by values from the FM called just above it: BAL_LOG_CREATE.
But this doesnu2019t happen.
So, SAP has hardcoded values for these 3 as u2018Eu2019 (Message type), HRPAYNA_ALV (Message ID) and u2018998u2019 (Message no).
These are the values that get printed when the program is tested. i.e. the hardcoded text is getting displayed.
Output in the ALV : HRPAYNA_ALV:998 ***********No records found***********
We have checked the documentation for the FMs, and even gone through a few sample programs that SAP has created like SBAL_DEMO_02. The output is perfect here.
Since this is code that SAP has added (Entire form added "SL0K008292) by SAP to its standard code, they must believe that these hardcoded text will still not get printed. Can this error can be corrected by making some configuration changes in the system (SLG1?).
The code of the suroutine where this FM is called is given below:
FORM alv_appl_msg_add USING iv_text1 TYPE any
 iv_text2 TYPE any
 iv_text3 TYPE any
 iv_text4 TYPE any.
Constants delcation.....
CONSTANTS: lc_msgid TYPE sy-msgid VALUE 'HRPAYNA_ALV', " Message ID
 lc_msgty TYPE sy-msgty VALUE 'E'. " Message Type
Data declarations.....

ls_msglog-msgv1 = iv_text1.
ls_msglog-msgv2 = iv_text2.
ls_msglog-msgv3 = iv_text3.
ls_msglog-msgv4 = iv_text4.

Hi
Pass IDoc Number, Date, Time from EDIDC table to FM-
'APPL_LOG_READ_DB'.
You'll get all log details of that IDoc.
For only Message, check FM - 'IDOC_GET_MESSAGE_ATTRIBUTE'.
