Features

The Log Messages View Toolbar: SAP GUI

The following functions are provided:

  • To display or hide the messages of a certain message type (Success, Info, Warning, Technical Error), choose the corresponding filter button.

    Example Example

    To show only the error messages, choose Application Error Message(s) (Application Error Message(s)).

    End of the example.

  • Dynamic support in error solving

    Depending on the AIF Message Category, the system offers context-sensitive buttons. These can, for example, provide links to transactions where you can correct the reason for the error.

    Example Example

    End of the example.

  • If you want to create, edit, or delete a custom hint or function, choose Customize and select either Custom Hints or Custom Functions (see Custom Hints and Custom Functions Maintenance).

Message Display in the Log Messages View

  • The message status, for example, Error (Error), is shown in the Type (SAP GUI) or Status (Web-based UI) column.

  • If you have created custom hints or custom functions, an icon is displayed in the corresponding Hints or Functions column.

  • The Index column shows the same number as the corresponding data message in the data messages screen. This information helps you to identify which log message belongs to which data message, especially if multiple messages are displayed.

  • If a text exists for a message, the system displays the text in the Message Text column.

    In the SAP GUI, if a long text exists for a message, the system displays the Long text exists (Long text exists) in the LTxt (Long text) column. If you click on the icon, the system displays the long text in a dialog box.

  • To navigate to the corresponding data line (or data field) in the Data Content view, double-click the log message.

  • In SAP GUI, if the message was restarted, you can only see the application log messages created during the restart. If you want to see all log messages, you have to access the application log of the message (see Main Screen).
