Viewing and Deleting RFC Trace Files and SAP Log Files

In the development and test phase it is sometimes helpful to view RFC traces if there are problems with the function modules you are trying to call. In order to avoid the need to access the file system of the machine on which Integration Server is running, you can view and delete RFC trace files and SAP log files from the IS Administrator UI.

All SAP log files, as well as the RFC trace files are stored in the packages/WmSAP/logs directory.

To view and delete RFC trace files and SAP log files

1. In the IS Administrator UI, browse to Adapters > Adapter for SAP > Logging.

2. The Logging screen appears. This screen lists the RFC trace files and SAP log files, and shows each file's size and creation date.

RFC trace files are split into several parts, each of them containing one trace entry along with the date and time it was created. To view the log entries for a specific Trace File, click the Trace File name.

Large SAP log files are split into several parts of about 500K. To view the log entries for a specific SAP log File, click the SAP Log File name.

In this way it is avoided that the browser has to load too large documents, which would take a long time or even cause a time out. Using the Back button of your browser, you can return from the display of one part to the list of parts for that file. If you try to delete a file that is still open (for example, because the Server is still writing to it), you will receive a message, and the file will not be deleted.

3. You can delete files that you no longer need:

To delete an individual trace file or SAP log file, click

To quickly delete all trace files or all SAP log files, click Delete All.
