Standard LogLocate this document in the navigation structure

Definition

The executing program creates a log during reading, writing, deleting, or reloading. This is either a standard log or an application-specific log that is described in archiving object-specific documentation.

Structure

Depending on the archiving action you have performed, the standard log can contain information about the archiving session or the archiving file, as well as information about the processed business objects.

Archiving Session Archive File-Specific Log

  • Number of archiving sessions

  • Number of processed data objects

  • Size of archiving session in MB

  • Amount of header data in %

  • Table space in MB occupied for

    • Tables

    • Indexes

  • Number of processed table entries

This information is written exclusively in the list (spool).

Business Object-Specific Log

It is used to inform the user about the results of processing the business objects he or she has selected. For example, in the write program the user learns which business objects have been archived and which could not be archived and why.

First the summarized version of the is displayed. If the user wants the detailed version, he or she can request it on the selection screen of the relevant archiving program (see Variant Maintenance for Archiving Jobs). If detailed information for an object is available, you can display the required object by double-clicking it. If detailed information for a message is available, you can display it by double-clicking the message.

If no application log was created, the relevant text is displayed. Possible reasons for this are, for example, the relevant archiving program does not support this function or the user wanted the log output in the application log and not in the list (spool).

You can call up the standard log with the Archive Administration: Overview of Archiving Sessions view with Spool List. If the user has defined in variant maintenance that the business object-specific information is to be output in the application log, you can display this information in archive administration with Logs.
