Server Logs

Use event log information to troubleshoot application problems. Use search criteria to find specific log records and statements. Depending on what information is captured, log information can include entries from event logs.

Typically, one event log is captured per business operation. However for SAP Mobile Cards, data is collected throughout an operation, and written along with the general event log message. The multiple messages are associated using the Correlation ID, and provide you with more detailed information to better isolate a problem. One limitation is that the detailed messages are only available in English.
