Error report in SAP

[Former Member]

HI Expert,

We are in a process of improvising the process at our client SAP knowledge base.

As a start up process, we need to have dump of errors which has been occurring in SAP system. But we are not sure how to get this list in SAP.

For example, 1000 users use SAP in a day and 100 users face error FMAV005. This message is logged in a SAP table where we get details like error message, user, Date, Time etc. Do we have such kind of report / table exists in SAP?

Kindly suggest.

Thanks and regards,

Narender.

HI Archer,

Thanks for your reply, but ST22 displays only the DUMPS which occurred in system. I need to know, in normal scenario when the user receives an error message, for example, BP604 (budget exceeded), is there any log created for same in any table?

Thanks and regards,

Narender.

Hi,

Maybe the Application Log (TAC: SLG1) Can help you. But there's no guarantee all errors are tracked there. It's up to the application developer whether to write a log or not and for sure not every trivial error is logged. I'm also not sure whether you talk about "dumps" or application errors?

HI Franz,

Thanks for your input.

I am checking further on this. I am looking for application errors only which get created while user is using SAP application.

Thanks and regards,

As Franz said, you can't get the messages, that were displayed to the user globally - as every application in SAP uses it's own style. SLG1 is one place to look at, ST22 is another one. But messages, raised with MESSAGE command, displayed protocols (like bapirets, bal_logs etc.) - those you can't find anywhere unless the application stores the protocol somewhere (it could even be a customer solution - Z* tables etc.).
