Parameter: LS_APP_SEVERITY

Definition

The severity threshold for the generation of log messages related to the business processing (application level)

Description and Use

This system parameter specifies the severity threshold for logging events related to the business processing (application level) of the SAP CC Core Server system. It is combined with the log severity threshold dedicated to the system processing.

The events are logged to the configured destinations. By default, the log messages are generated to the logging destination fileset #1.

The main log thresholds is INFO in a productive SAP CC system.

Note

A similar parameter (LS_TRC_SEVERITY) is available to set up the severity threshold used for the generation of the trace messages used by support organization or SAP labs.

Caution

If no value is set for this parameter, the value of the ls.app.severity system property located in the startup configuration file (jstart.config) of the instance is used instead.
If this system property is not set, the INFO value is used instead.

Syntax and Constraints

The possible values are:

Log Severity Threshold Description Scope Generated Logs by Severity
INFO (default and recommended) All the log messages are generated by the SAP CC system for the IT administrator or IT consultant. This log severity threshold is recommended for a productive SAP CC system. It is the highest threshold level. Info, Warning, Error, Fatal
WARNING Only the log messages associated to warnings and errors (incl. fatal) are generated by the SAP CC system

This log severity threshold is not recommended as a lot of valuable logs are not recorded:

  • Event notification when no corrective action is necessary
  • Status recording (startup, shutdown, processing progress)
  • Context information when additional information needs to be provided in conjunction with another log message
Warning, Error, Fatal
ERROR Only the log messages associated to errors (incl. fatal) are generated by the SAP CC system Not recommended Error, Fatal
FATAL Only the fatal error messages are generated by the SAP CC system Not recommended Fatal

An immediate change is possible but is temporary. When it is relevant, change the permanent settings used by the SAP CC Core Server system when it restarts.

Use the Admin+ user interface to change the runtime values or the permanent values of this system parameter in an instance of the SAP CC Core Server system or in multiple instances.

Groups
Instance Types This system parameter is available in the following types of instances in a running SAP CC Core Server system:
  • rater, updater, guider, bulkloader, taxer, dispatcher
Default Values (Factory Settings)

The predefined default values are:

Instance Type Value
Rater INFO
Updater INFO
Guider INFO
Bulkloader INFO
Taxer INFO
Dispatcher INFO

You can use a default value to reset the runtime value or the restart value (persistent) in the Admin+ user interface.

Note

A default value is part of the factory settings of the SAP CC Core Server systems. It differs from the original value set during the installation or after the Customizing activities.

In Admin+, you can reset a parameter value to this default value, but it is not recommended:

  • This value may differ from the original value set during the installation of your SAP CC system.
  • Note that it may also differ from the value defined by the implementation project team and set during the Implementation Phase of the integration project.
Verify the values in your running SAP CC systems before to use the reset command.
