SAP Gateway Error Logs

Error logs provide detailed context information about errors that have occurred at runtime, enabling you to perform root cause analysis, as well as reproducing and correcting errors.

You can launch the error log with transaction /IWFND/ERROR_LOG in Gateway Hub systems. Launch the error log with transaction /IWBEP/ERROR_LOG in your back-end system.

The SAP Gateway error logs reveal basic details about errors and show errors from all users for a given client. Business logic errors are often displayed in this error log due to improper business logic. Other errors displayed include the HTTP code to indicate the type of error.

Note that based on the security level setting, advanced details or the replay function may be hidden or disabled. Note also that these error logs will not show generic authorization errors if users fail to properly authenticate.

You can navigate to different sections from the Error Context area as shown above. Choose Replay to reproduce and correct errors. Choose from the following two replay options:

  • SAP Gateway Client

  • Web Browser

Use option SAP Gateway Client to reproduce runtime situations that led to a particular error without accessing the application from the actual mobile client, and to simulate a service at runtime to identify and resolve potential issues.

For more information about how to configure the error log, see Configuration Settings for the Error Log in the SAP Gateway Technical Operations Guide.

In addition, use the Application Log Viewer to display more technical error details by using transaction /IWFND/APPS_LOG.
