Write to Process Chain Protocol via SE38 ABAP Program

[mschaeufler]

Hello folks,

I have an ABAP program that runs in a process chain.

I want to be able to write custom messages to the process chain job log of the respective variant. E.g. "Step 1 successful."

How can this be achieved?

Hi Markus,

I don't have an answer to your question, but would like to discuss in detail to see if it leads to some conclusion.

As far as I know, there is no way to view the log of the entire process chain (other than SLG1). You can see the log of individual process (variant) like in your image. I have never seen anybody writing to the log of another program. In your example, you are asking to insert a message within the log of the start process of the PC. I don't think that is possible.

It is possible to display the log of entire process chain if it is a local chain within a meta. Each of those messages already indicate that the step (process) is successful. If you still want to insert your own custom message there, it _may be_ possible by writing another ABAP program, but I haven't tried or tested that.
