BTP cl_bali_log_db retention time

[abo]

In a BTP ABAP system I am running background jobs, which write logs using cl_bali_log_db with assign_to_current_appl_job = abap_true (that is, bound to the current job entry).

I am trying to understand the lifetime of logs in relation to jobs, could anyone answer these questions?

• how long are job status entries kept? (this might be a tunable parameter, no idea where!)
• how long are application job logs kept?
• does it make a difference in retention time if the logs were written bound to a job instead of being free standing?

At the moment I am only able to read the jobs via the "Application Jobs" app, since I do not have S_APPL_LOG authorization for the object / subobject pair... which I created. This is weird. Seriously.

Good question, we are also looking into this. 
i guess the jobs are reorganised independently from logs. Log retention time can be set on creation of the log header (like before). Problem will be to have a look at the logs once the job got reorged - and in BTP there is no standalone log app - equivalent to SLG1. That’s why we have created an own one…
