During a system process, the SLD server logs relevant information for monitoring purposes. The SLD writes data to standard logs that you can view with any SAP log viewer. You can also view the SLD logs on the SLD UI.

You have to view the logs regularly to check whether any errors have occurred. SAP support can also use the logs to analyze problems.

The Server Log screen appears.
