Logging
Using the logging flag you can define whether changes to the data records of a table should be logged. If logging is switched on, each change to an existing data record (with UPDATE, DELETE) by the user or application program is recorded in the database in a log table (DBTABPRT).
To switch on logging, the R/3 System must be started with a profile containing parameter rec/client. This parameter defines whether all clients or only selected clients should be logged.
The parameter can have the following values:
rec/client = ALL |
Log all clients. |
rec/client = 000[,...] |
Log the specified clients. |
rec/client = OFF |
Do not log. |
Logging slows down accesses that change the table. First of all, a record must be written in the log table for each change. Secondly, a number of users access this log table in parallel. This can cause lock situations although the users are working with different application tables.
Logging is independent of the update.
The existing logs can be displayed with Transaction Table History (SCU3).
