Run SM20 in background with variant

[Former Member]

I need to supply SM20 report of a particular user and trying to schedule it as a batch job. I am unable to do so in 46C environment.

Has anyone able to achieve something like this?

Hi,

I think it is not possible with a variant. Instead you can use the BAPI's explained in RSAU_AUDITLOG_EXTERNAL example.

Hi Annie,

As mention by Ferudun it is not possible to execute SM20 in background as such. The best appraoch will be to execute SM20 and then save output as local file and then send it across to the concerned person in e-mail.

Got the answer from SAP that starting from 46C Support Pack 52, we can run SM20(report RSAU_SELECT_EVENTS) in background with variant.

I thought of that but didn't know that it was available for 46C.

Did you see / try RSAU_READ_AUDITLOG_EXTERNAL?

Julius,

I try to limit the report reading to a particular user in Report RSAU_READ_AUDITLOG_EXTERNAL but it still produce the report for all users. The instance name parameter makes me wonder if it only reads the audit file from that particular instance. In SM20, we can read the audit logs from all instances. Not too sure if RSAU_SELECT_EVENTS reads from all instances as I am unable to test at the moment. Are you able to confirm this?

Thanks,

<b>RSAU_READ_AUDITLOG_EXTERNAL</b>

It looks like it runs on the application server which the system user is logged into. This is default local:

PARAMETERS:
         RFCDEST   LIKE  RFCDES-RFCDEST        DEFAULT 'NONE',

... until you go outside of the system by changing the destination or explicitly to a different application server.

<b>RSAU_SELECT_EVENTS</b>

Here you can choose which application server you want to read from:

SELECT-OPTIONS server     FOR rsauentr-slginst.  "Instanzen"
    SELECT-OPTIONS client     FOR rsauentr-slgmand.  "Mandanten"
    SELECT-OPTIONS user       FOR rsauentr-slguser.  "Benutzer"
    SELECT-OPTIONS terminal   FOR rsauentr2-slgltrm2."Terminals"
    SELECT-OPTIONS tcode      FOR rsauentr-slgtc.    "Transaktionen"
    SELECT-OPTIONS report     FOR rsauentr-slgrepna. "Programme

... so you can choose 1, or more (select single values or ranges), or all application servers from within the same SID.

  call function 'TH_SERVER_LIST'
    tables
      list   = sys_tabl
    exceptions
      others = 1.
  if sy-subrc = 1.
    raise not_available.
  endif.
