Monitoring Log for Debugging?

josgabriel_martnez — Wed, 28 May 2008 10:19:59 GMT

Hi all,

There is a trx to later trace or monitoring (besides the online option SM50, columns Status="On hold", Reason="Debug"), if during a day or during a specific period of time, somebody debugged any program?

Thanks in advance.

Hello Jose,

as far as i know, there's no logging for simple debugging. But if you change any contents of program fields during debugging, that's logged in system log (SM21). There are entries like this:

12:23:08 DIA 003 010 DB118F5 SE38 A19 Field contents changed: ALL_GEN -> **

12:23:08 DIA 003 010 DB118F5 SE38 A14 > Program text ... , line 0206, result GET_DIRECTORY

12:23:15 DIA 003 010 DB118F5 SE38 A19 Field contents changed: ALL_GEN -> **

12:23:15 DIA 003 010 DB118F5 SE38 A14 > Program text .., line 0206, result GET_DIRECTORY

In fact, double-clicking on the line, appears the following message:

"Documentation for system log message... :

The contents of the specified field were changed in the Debugger. "

Is it possible to search in SM21 for entries that could content this type of records?

Thanks, Wolfgang.

Hello Jose,

yes, you could search in SM21 - since it's no alv list (at least in Rel.5.0) simply with the find (binocular) icon .

If you have a multiple instance system, make sure, that you see all system logs (SM21 - > system log -> choose ->all remote system logs).

and an other drawback: system logs are cyclical overwritten. Just take a date in selection from date let's say two month back and check, from which date there are the first entries you see.

Thanks, Wolfgang.

Anyway, if you discover a way or a log to watch a "normal debugging session" performed in the past (not online), please let me know.

Regards,

José Gabriel.
