T-Code SM21: Restoring old syslog entries

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

is it possible to find old syslogs (generated by sm21) in the filesystem? I've got the following problem: If a developer creates a breakpoint in a loop, the syslog is in a few of seconds full with this entry. Older entries are not any longer in the syslog. Is there any way to see them?

Thanks and best regards,

Max

Hi,

Each SAP System application server has a local log that receives all the messages output by this server. The system log records these messages in a circular file on the server. When this log file reaches the maximum permissible length, the system log overwrites it, starting over from the beginning. (The location of the local log is specified in the rslg/local/file profile parameter.)

Hi,

You can find detailed information at the attached SAP Notes 548624.

With rslgview you can read your backup syslog files, please check the note below for more information:

Let me know if you need more information.
