Trace files can be activated via transaction SM21.

Logs are automatically written by SAP Gateway components according to the log levels set in the system. Customers can monitor log files via:

  • transaction SLG1

    For SAP Gateway hub systems use object /IWFND/. For SAP Business Suite backend systems use object /IWBEP/.

    Transaction SLG1 is available in all supported SAP systems.

  • transaction /IW<XXX>/VIEW_LOG

    We recommend using this transaction in SAP Gateway systems (/IWFND/VIEW_LOG) as well as SAP Business Suite backend systems with the add-on IW_BEP (/IWBEP/VIEW_LOG).

The SAP Gateway Implementation Guide (IMG), which is available in the system in transaction SPRO in the SAP Reference IMG under Start of the navigation path SAP NetWeaver Next navigation step SAP Gateway Next navigation step OData Channel Next navigation step Administration Next navigation step Logging Settings End of the navigation path contains activities and documentation about what information is logged and how the corresponding configuration can be changed. Logs are persisted on the ABAP database.

On the SAP Business Suite backend system these logging activities are available in the IMG under the following path in transaction SPRO: Start of the navigation path SAP NetWeaver Next navigation step SAP Gateway Service Enablement Next navigation step Backend OData Channel Next navigation step Logging Settings End of the navigation path.

   

In addition to the application log a separate error log is also available.
