How can i decode the bal-log context-data that is in raw format

[andreas_greiff]

Hello,

i am writting an programm in which it is required to read the context-data from application log message entries.

This is my code for reading the messages and trying to convert the context data:

DATA lv_number_of_logs TYPE i.
    DATA lt_header_data TYPE TABLE OF balhdr.
    DATA lt_header_parameters TYPE TABLE OF balhdrp.
    DATA lt_messages TYPE TABLE OF balm.
    DATA lt_message_parameters TYPE TABLE OF balmp.
    DATA lt_context TYPE TABLE OF balc.
    DATA lt_exceptions TYPE TABLE OF bal_s_exception.

    CALL FUNCTION 'APPL_LOG_READ_DB'
      EXPORTING
        object             = 'ISH_ACM'
        subobject          = 'DE_EAU(KIM)'
        date_from          = iv_date_from "00000000
        time_from          = '000000'
        date_to            = iv_date_to
        time_to            = '235959'
      IMPORTING
        number_of_logs     = lv_number_of_logs
      TABLES
        header_data        = lt_header_data
        header_parameters  = lt_header_parameters
        messages           = lt_messages
        message_parameters = lt_message_parameters
        contexts           = lt_context
        t_exceptions       = lt_exceptions.

data gs_context                  TYPE REF TO data.
FIELD-SYMBOLS <gs_context>                TYPE ANY.
 FIELD-SYMBOLS <g_context_char>            TYPE c.

    CREATE DATA gs_context TYPE RN1TI_BAL_CTX_EAU.
    ASSIGN gs_context->* TO <gs_context>.
    ASSIGN <gs_context> TO <g_context_char> CASTING.

data ls_context like LINE OF lt_context.
READ TABLE lt_context INTO ls_context INDEX 1.

The Problem occures here:

<g_context_char> = ls_context-CONVALUE.<br>

Additional Informations:

The Format of ls_context is:

Does anybody now, how i can the CONVALUE Field correctly?

Thanks and regards,

Andreas

Context should start with a structure name (subfield tabname) followed by values (subfield value)

• You have to assign subfield (component) value of bal log context to your structure the same way it was used to create the application log.

i have updated my post.

I have tryed to achive this with:

<g_context_char> = ls_context-CONVALUE

The problem is in my opinion that the data has the wrong format. -> raw. And i dont know how to convert it properly.

[raymond_giuseppi]

try a

    assign l_context_value
      to <ls_context> casting type (is_ldat-log-context-tabname).

Try to analyze a FM such as BAL_DB_CONVERT_CONTEXT (which convert old context format to current one when structure changed since log creation)
It would be easier to use standard BAL* FM ?

Please edit your question (Actions>Edit), select your code and press the button [CODE], which makes the code appear colored/indented, it'll be easier for people to look at it. Thanks!

e.g.

data gs_context TYPE REF TO data.
FIELD-SYMBOLS <gs_context> TYPE ANY.
FIELD-SYMBOLS <g_context_char> TYPE c.

CREATE DATA gs_context TYPE RN1TI_BAL_CTX_EAU.
ASSIGN gs_context->* TO <gs_context>.
ASSIGN <gs_context> TO <g_context_char> CASTING.
<g_context_char> = <some_raw_data>. " <==== "it does not work"

Thank you very much,

it its my first question and i didnt knew it. I have updated my post.

Thanks and regards,

You are using the obsolete API, hence the confusion with latest API (components tabname and value).

I don't know how this old API works...

[andreas_greiff]

Thanks for the tip. Can you name me the current api?
