Hello Jan,

You can limit the size of system log.

The size of the application server's System Log is determined by the

following SAP profile parameters. Once the current System Log reaches

the maximum file size, it gets moved to the old_file and and a new

System Log file gets created. The number of past days messages in the

System Log depends on the amount/activity of System Log messages and the

max file size. Once messages get rolled off the current and old files,

they are no longer retrievable.

rslg/local/file /usr/sap/<SID>/D*/log/SLOG<SYSNO>

rslg/local/old_file /usr/sap/<SID>/D*/log/SLOGO<SYSNO>

rslg/max_diskspace/local 1000000

rslg/central/file /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/global/SLOGJ

rslg/central/old_file /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/global/SLOGJO

rslg/max_diskspace/central

Refer to http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/c7/69bcbaf36611d3a6510000e835363f/content.htm

for explanation of profile parameters.you can reduce the size of system log using rslg/max_diskspace_local and rslg/max_diskspace_central

But you can't reduce the size of job log files on OS

Hello,

in transaction SM50 you go to -> process -> trace -> reset

then the workprocess tracefiles will be saved to dev_wx.old and a new,

empty tracefiles will be generated.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,

Andreas
