    Displays all selected data messages in a hierarchy. The messages are grouped by namespace and interface. Optionally, the messages can be grouped by key fields, if these have been defined for an interface.

  • Log Messages view

    Displays the log messages that have been created while processing the selected message(s).

  • Data Structure view

SAP GUI

If you chooseTechnical Mode, an additional fifth view is displayed on the Monitoring and Error Handling main screen. This view displays interface processing and some additional buttons are added in the four standard views (for example, for sorting, printing, and transforming). The mapping steps and actions executed during interface processing are displayed. The view enables you to analyze in which processing steps errors occurred. You can choose a processing step to display the log messages related to it. This enables you to identify, for example, those messages that derived from the value mapping process.
