job logs on OS level

[Former Member]

Hi,

Do you have any idea or it possible to check in OS level if a particular job is finished or not? Is there a log that i need to be seen?

Hi,

If its only a matter of knowing whether the job is still running or not from OS level,then you can use dpmon as <sidadm> which shows you the status of the workprocess(like SM50).

Hi,

Thanks for the quick response.

In OS level is there a logfile created once a specific job is finished regardless if it's SAP standard jobs.

Kindly give to me directory.

Hi,

Job logs get written to /usr/sap/<sid>/SYS/global directory,there are client specific job log directories (eg 005JOBLG,000JOBLG..etc) under the above directory.
