Logging and Tracing 

Use

Logging and tracing is essential for analyzing problems. The log and default trace files are in the following directory on the host on which your ES Repository is installed:

/usr/sap/<SAPSID>/<instance_name>/j2ee/cluster/server<n>/log

Logging

The Enterprise Services Repository uses the standard logging of AS Java. This can be configured by using the log configuration function of the SAP NetWeaver Administrator under Problem Management → Logs and Traces → Log Configuration (alias: /nwa/log-config).

Logging is activated by default. The ES Repository writes log entries to the application log category /Applications/ExchangeInfrastructure.

If you want to change the preset log level, perform the following steps:

...

       1.      Call Log Configuration.

       2.      Show Logging Categories.

       3.      Select Applications → Exchange Infrastructure.

       4.      Change the Severity if required.

Tracing

Tracing is not activated by default. To activate tracing, perform the following steps:

...

       1.      Call Log Configuration.

       2.      Show the Tracing Locations.

       3.      Select a location.

Available locations for the ES Repository in the default server trace are:

○       com.sap.aii.ib

○       com.sap.aii.ibrep

       4.      Change the Severity if required.

You can view traces, log files, and archive logs by using the log viewer function of the SAP NetWeaver Administrator under Problem Management → Logs and Traces → Log Viewer (alias: /nwa/logs).
