Once you have set the Central Logging Parameters, you must start the SAP system processes that send messages from local logs to the central log. In the central system, you start a collection process and a send process. You must start a send process on every instance.
This topic does not apply to SAP systems running on Microsoft Windows NT hosts. Central logging is not offered on these platforms, and the processes described below are not needed.
You should only start a collection process in the instance containing the central log. To start the collection process, enter the following commands in the start profile for the instance:
#------------------------------------------------------------ # execute rslgcoll #------------------------------------------------------------ _CO =co.sap<SID>_DVEBMGS00 # create a link name for rslgcoll Execute_05 =local ln -s -f $(DIR_EXECUTABLE)/rslgcoll $(_CO) # start the program, specifying the instance profile of the server Start_Program_05 =local $(_CO) -F pf=$(DIR_PROFILE)/<SID>_DVEBMGS00 |
You need to start a send process on each instance in your system (including the central system). The send process transfers messages from the individual instances to the central log. To start a send process, add the following lines to the start profile(s) of the individual instances:
#------------------------------------------------------------ # execute rslgsend #------------------------------------------------------------ _SE =se.sap<SID>_DVEBMGS00 # create a link name for rslgsend Execute_06 =local ln -s -f $(DIR_EXECUTABLE)/rslgsend $(_SE) # start the program, specifying the instance profile of the server Start_Program_06 =local $(_SE) -F pf=$(DIR_PROFILE)/<SID>_DVEBMGS00 |
You can display the full syntax and options of RSLGCOLL and RSLGSEND by doing the following:
● Change to the SAP executables directory on a host system in which an SAP application server is installed. Typical example under UNIX: /usr/sap/<SYSTEMNAME>/SYS/exe/run.
● Enter the program name (rslgsend, rslgcoll) and then enter “help” or “?”:
rslgsend help
The program syntax is then displayed.
