Log File of the Replication Manager (SAP Library

Log File of the Replication Manager

When the REPM Server is started, it creates or writes to a log file. The Replication Manager defaults for the name of this file is repserver.log. The file is located in the wrk directory of a SAP DB installation.

The REPM Server logs the following information to this file:

Database name and user name
Start and end of a load or unload action
All executed SQL statements
All executed load commands
– For each load command, the position of the rejected input records in the data file and the cause of error
- For each load command, the accumulated counts (inserted/modified lines and rejected lines)
All executed unload commands
For each DATAEXTRACT command, the accumulated counts (number of extracted lines, and the number of lines extracted with errors)
A message if the action was terminated

The log file is structured in such a way that parts of it can be easily used to create a command file. All comments in a new record start with / * or / <letter> and are ignored by the REPM Server.

All message or error text lines in the log are identified by a letter at the start of the line.

/ M	Stands for system messages, such as the number of lines inserted and rejected, last completed transaction, and so on.
/ E	Line with error messages This is used to introduce the two lines with the table and position values as well as the error number or error text for rejected lines.
