You can use this function to complete the following tasks:
Search for and analyze logs about data replication runs (transaction DRFLOG)
Delete logs about data replication runs (transaction DRFLOGDEL)
The table below shows the search criteria you can use when searching for replication logs using the DRFLOG transaction.
Section of Search Screen | Description |
---|---|
| You must choose a replication model as a search criterion. |
| You can use the key components of object IDs as search criteria. For example, you can search for replication logs about flights involving a particular airline by specifying a two-character code for the You can only specify selection options for an object ID if you have completed the following actions:
The system only applies the filter criteria if you select the |
| You can choose an outbound implementation as a search criterion. The outbound implementation must be defined for the replication model. If you do not choose an outbound implementation, the system returns logs for all outbound implementations related to the specified replication model. |
|
|
| You can search for replication logs that are relevant to specific replication modes or relevant to all replication modes. For example, you can search for logs that were previously created during an initial replication run. |
| You can choose between a hierarchical display or a display in order of log class. |
After you execute a search in the DRFLOG transaction, the system displays replication logs.
Depending on the Log Formatting
options specified during the search, you see either a hierarchical display or a display in order of log class. You can double-click a message to view its detail.
You can perform actions on replication logs. Possible actions range from opening message long texts to restarting data replication for objects that were replicated with errors. To perform an action on a log, you select the log and choose an icon. The table below describes the icons.
Icon | Description |
---|---|
( Shift+F8 | Shows the filter criteria used when the replication occurred and displays the objects that were replicated after the filter was applied. Filter criteria are only shown for detail logs about objects replicated using filters. |
( Shift+F9 | Restarts data replication for all objects belonging to a particular run ID that were replicated with errors. The restart is only possible if you select a detail log. The system sends the object IDs of the objects that need to be replicated again using the same runtime parameters used by the original replication run. |
( Shift + Ctrl+0 | Restarts a data replication run for all objects belonging to a particular run ID. The restart is only possible if you select a detail log. |
( F7 | Provides detailed information about the selected message on a new screen, if this information exists, and sometimes allows further navigation.
|
( F5 | Provides the long text for a message, if one exists. |
( F6 | Shows technical information about a selected message, for example the message type, message class, and message number. |
The table below shows the criteria you can use when deleting replication logs using the DRFLOGDEL transaction.
Screen Section | Description |
---|---|
| You must choose a replication model for which you want to delete selected logs. |
| You can delete logs that were generated by data replication runs executed in specific modes or in all modes. |
| You can restrict deletion to logs that have exceeded an expiry date. |
| You can delete logs for a range of users, a range of log numbers, a range of problem classes, or a range of dates. |
| You can delete logs directly or just calculate the amount of logs that the system would mark for deletion with the current search criteria. |
| You can choose a number of logs to be deleted at a time before the system commits the deletion to the database. |
