Hello pradeep,

Not sure about ULOG but can briefly tell you about SLOG and ALOG.

ALOG file contains the return codes for transports. By return codes I mean codes like 0000( no error) ,0004 (warning) ooo8(sntax error) and 00012(fatal error).

Please visit for more info on ALOGs:

SLOG gives complete picture all imports happening in a system. It gives all details like what step is getting executed at what time etc.

Hope it is helpful. May be ULOG is combination of both !!.

Hi Pradeep,

apart from useful info by ruchit ; An Input on ULOG from my side.

Log files ULOG log files in usr/sap/trans/log shows the DELFROMBUFFER entry against the transports that were mistakenly deleted.

Also from one of the docs, i was able to know the below one as well;)

how read the records in the SLOG00 ?

From unix, use:

rslgview pf=<instance-profile>

enter commands as follows:

[number]+ [number]- [number]. e s l q

+ number of records forward.

- number of records backward.

. locate numbered record.

d look into documentation.

e end of file.

c current location of file (oldest entry).

t tiny format (one line only).

s small format (always for central SysLog).

l large format (default for local SysLog).

x hexadecimal output format.

> shift entry frames down number of bytes.

< shift entry frames up number of bytes.

? print this help message.

q quit.

All other is like "1+".

Finish all your commands by NEWLINE or RETURN.

Hopefully This info is helpful as well....

award points for helpful answers...
