Logging
Using the logging flag you can define whether changes to the data records of a table should be logged. If logging is switched on, each change to an existing data record (with UPDATE, DELETE) by the user or application program is recorded in a log table (DBTABPRT).
To switch on logging, the R/3 System must be started with a profile containing parameter rec/client. This parameter defines whether all clients or only selected clients should be logged.
The parameter can have the following values:
rec/client = ALL |
Log all clients. |
rec/client = 000[,...] |
Log the specified clients. |
rec/client = OFF |
Do not log. |
Logging slows down accesses which change the table! First of all, a record must be written in the log table for each change. Secondly, a number of users access this log table in parallel. This can cause lock situations although the users are working with different application tables.
