OO Application Log

Hi SCN,

Regarding applications log, is there equivalent BAL functions in OO (pure OO) (create, display, etc)?

Thanks.

Regards,

Maria João Rocha

A SAP Standard solution could be the use of Interface "IF_RECA_MESSAGE_LIST" : link

There's a GitHub-repo for a ApplicationLog Class that has gathered some attention : link

I've written one (Actually, several in various places). It's quite straightforward. It is a bit odd that SAP didn't supply one, since, if I recall correctly, the BAL came in after Objects.

Various clients' systems. On a few occasions, I've found someone got there before me.

I'm suggesting writing your own, if a Z one doesn't already exist. It really is simple - no more than a day's effort.

Hello Maria,

On your Question "Wich one you advise to use?", I think it would be best to reach back to your companies / IT-department's approach in such matters.

Does the Standard-Log do what you want to achieve NOW (and possibly in the future)? Is it clear what it does and doesn't? Would your co-workers feel comfortable using this as well? Is it documented enough?
You might want to create a Custom Logger, but is that the right time and place for your work now?
You could use the "ZCL_LOGGER" from the GitHub-repo?

I suggest you go through the Blog and the discussion below the page, where people point out the possible drawbacks in using 'RECA' or Custom Development ... These can offer some opinions to make a decision.

(As Matthew states, it wouldn't be a huge development to create a Custom Log Class yourself ...)

Kind regards

Nic T.
