Hi Hosmath,

SLG1 is the Business Application Log (BAL) where applications can log error messages or status messages. You can use it for your own applications by using BAL* function modules. It is a very usefull thing. I use it at some points of my web applications for writing error messages in background which didn't concern the user directly.

Look at the following weblog for more details:

[https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/5507] [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken];

SM21 shows errors logs which are thrown by the system itself (e.g. A report gets a timeout.).

Hi Hosmath,

SAP Application Log, transaction SLG1, is the most common way to store messages. Log entries are created and stored using a set of functions. Logs are grouped by log objects and subobjects. For example, you have log group for object PPORDER (production order) and you can further classify logs with production order subobjects HEADER and OPERATION. Those are selections that you use on the initial screen of SLG1, along with others like: free text name / ID, date/time, user name and transaction code.

SM21 View the system log, very useful when you get a short

dump. Provides much more info than short dump

Thanks,
