Application Logging questions, SLG0

[Former Member]

Hello all,

I have a couple of generic questions I would like to ask the users of this forum.

1. The people that are using application logging, in what types of situations do you use this functionality, interface programming, updating custom tables, etc.?

2. People that are aware of this functionality and are not using it, why are you not using it?

SAP help documentation has pretty good information about the different function modules that are part of this product.

Thanks

Hi Bruce;

As part of the SAP's AII (Auto-ID) production, we use SLG1 extensively because that is where all of the application errors are stored by the system when it processes inbound or outbound messages.

The biggest pro is that it consolidates all of the logging information; the biggest con is that it is hard to search through all that information for a particular message, unless the document number is part of the message. It can be a challenge to find a particular log entry when there can be upwards of 2,500 in one day.

Cheers,

John
