Displaying the Transfer Log and Processing Errors

Since the data transfer does not regularly run online but in the background, a log is written for each data transfer.

The log for a sender structure contains information on errors and the chronological process of the data transfer. You can display the logs in the EC-EIS application menu under Start of the navigation path Transaction data Next navigation step Transfers Next navigation step Transfer log End of the navigation path , and in the EC-BP application menu under Start of the navigation path Plan data Next navigation step Transfers Next navigation step Transfer log End of the navigation path .

After you have entered your selections and selected Execute , a list of the available logs appears.

Recommendation Recommendation

For the selection of the logs to be displayed, SAP recommends that you do not enter anything in the Time field with a time frame of more than one day. Otherwise this can produce unexpected results: Then data records are only selected within the specified time frame for every day (and not from the specified start date/start time to end date/end time).

End of the recommendation.

You can display further information about the errors for each log by double-clicking on the list entry. Using Detail information , you can process receiver records that have not been updated, as well as incorrect sender records. You can display or delete sender and receiver records, and display the expected structures. Sender and receiver records can be imported again. If, following the error analysis, you must import or update a large number of data records, you should schedule the function in the background processing.

The number of transfer logs that can be saved depends on the quantity of data. Therefore, SAP recommends that you schedule a weekly job that deletes the logs .
