Access logfiles throug the portal sp16

[Former Member]

Hi,

Where can I access the log files ( default.trc) trought the portal. They used to be under System administrtion -> Support -> Portal Runtime-> log viewer.

Now there is nothing called Portal Runtime??

I know I can see the log files in the log viewer on the server, but is ther no way I can see them trough the portal (not from the server)? I do not have access to the server at the moment.

Now the logfiles are in the Java Developer role (com.sap.pct.pdk.JavaDeveloper) in the portal. If you have this role, go to Java Development > Tools, and in the detailed navigation you will see the Portal LogViewer link.

Hope this helps,

Hi Ingvild,

Ok. I see. In this case Log Viewer can be found there: System Administration -> Support -> SAP WebAS System Information -> SAP WebAS Log Viewer

Hope this helps,

Hi

Thanks for helping out

I found the log under System Administration -> Support -> SAP WebAS System Information -> SAP WebAS Log Viewer

I did not need the role: com.sap.pct.pdk.JavaDeveloper for this.

I searched for this role but that i not a role in my portal.

I can't see this link that you mention within SAP WebAS System Information. But I can access the application directly by replacing the /irj/portal/ inthe URL with irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.portal.runtime.admin.logviewer.default.

You would need the security zones set right to accomodate this shortcut.

Anyone know why the Logviewer would not be available in System Administration -> Support ->SAP WebAS System Information ? I was once told that you need the PDK deployed to your Production Portal, and that this was not advisable

cheers,

Andy

Hi,

You can find the server log files here:

usr\sap\<sid>\

..\j2ee\cluster\server0\log

Inside the log folder u'll find a couple of textpad files called "defaultTrace.X" where X is a number.See the file with largest X value in the group....which implies that is the latest one.

Hi Ingvild,

You can use Visual Administrator or go to directory containing traces.

Visual Administrator (VA) can be run by <drive>:\usr\sap\<SID>\JC<SYSTEM_NUMBER>\j2ee\admin\go.bat

Login to VA and go to Server<n>->Services->Log Viewer. In Runtime tab un the tree expand Cluster -> Server -> <drive>:\usr\sap -> <SID>\JC<SYSTEM_NUMBER> -> j2ee\cluster\server<n> -> log

You can also open <drive>:\usr\sap\<SID>\JC<SYSTEM_NUMBER>\j2ee\cluster\server<n>\log folder in windows explorer or any other file manager and find defaultTrace.trc files there.
