Display Customizing Distribution Logs 

Use

You have distributed customizing in your system landscape and want to check in the logs whether the distribution was successful.

Prerequisite

You are in the Customizing Distribution setup.

Procedure

Select logs

...

...

       1.      Choose Goto → Distribution Logs or call the transaction scdt_log.

The system displays the Customizing Distribution Log Selection dialog screen.

       2.      You can restrict the log selection with one or more selection conditions.

       3.      You can set the flag that only logs since the last complete distribution are displayed.

You should set the flag. A successful, complete distribution of a transport request usually makes older logs obsolete. The overall status of a distribution in the log overview structure reflects the worst individual result of all displayed logs. If you display the obsolete logs, they affect the overall status of the distribution in the log overview. So the overall status can be 'error', although all objects have been distributed successfully by a more recent distribution in the meantime.

       4.      Choose Display Logs by Selection or Only Display Logs with Errors.

The system lists all logs in your selection.

You can skip the Customizing Distribution Log Selection dialog screen next time you call the logs, if you set the corresponding flag. You can change the settings again later with Edit → Options.

Reload log
