Use

Use this predefined view if you want to monitor and view logs and traces on an AS Java system that is not running. Two types of offline connections are available:

●      Remote Method Invocation (RMI) – this is a protocol supported by the Standalone Log Viewer server. You can use RMI if you want to  view log records on systems 7.0.

●      SAPHostControl – this is an agent protocol you can use for viewing logs and traces on systems 7.1.

Prerequisites

...

●      Open the Log Viewer tool by choosing SAP NetWeaver Administrator →  Problem management → Logs and Traces →  Log Viewer.

●      For viewing log and trace records on systems 7.0, use the Standalone Log Viewer server. This server can be run only via the RMI. The server is running on the system you want to monitor.

●      For viewing log records on systems 7.1, you need to install the SAP Host Control Agent to be able to use the SAPHostControl method.
