Database Message Log (SAP DB) (SAP Library

Database Message Log (SAP DB)

These entries in the Detail Analysis Menu are used to interpret events that have occurred since the database was started.

The system messages are displayed here (kernel log knldiag ). This log includes the following messages listed in chronological order:

Database start and stop

Information about the physical memory areas

User processes

System error messages

When the log file reaches a certain size, the system overwrites the beginning of the file with new information. A new log file is created after the database is restarted.

To display the old log ( knldiag.old ) created as a backup copy before the database was restarted, choose Show Old File.

To display the error log ( knldiag.err ), choose Show Error Log.
