You can display logs for monitoring business objects and processes in Payment Engine.

If you want to display a log entry that is related to a concrete object or an object-related event, for example, the reconciliation date of a payment order has increased, you use the functional log. Otherwise, you use the technical log.

Prerequisites

  • You have defined the settings for functional logging in Customizing for Payment Engine under   Tools   Logs   Define Group Settings for Functional Log  .

  • You have defined the messages you want the functional log to record in Customizing for Payment Engine under   Tools   Logs   Define Message Settings for Functional Log  .

  • You have defined the process types you want the technical log to record based on the standard process categories in Customizing for Payment Engine under   Tools   Logs   Define Technical Log Settings  .

Features

  • Functional log

    Records messages about business objects, such as payment orders, payment items, and collectors, and events related to these objects in the business application log (BAL).

  • Technical log

    Records messages about technical processes, for example, accrual, collection of payment items, and end-of-day processing, in the business application log (BAL).

  • Message search for functional log and technical log

    Searches for messages in the technical log and the functional log that the system records in the business application log (BAL).
