SRM:Huge Workflow log in Global directory(AL11)

[dhinesh_thirugnanam]

Hi ,

In Production - 'AL11',Numerous workflow log is getting created.Which is causing Jobs failing and Mail not getting delivered from SOST.How to Resolve it.....

I would like to know from where it is getting created?

I checked in other blogs where they have asked to check SWU9 for trace , SCOT.

SWU9 - It is good it has already been in 'In-active' status.

SCOT:Here Inbox and Outbox are showing 'Active'

                   Global = 'Deactivated'.

Here Inbox and Outbox also should be in 'Deactivated'?

Program - RSWTTR02 can be used to delete all logs from the Global directory.Based on screenshot apart from 'wf_log'  but there are others not sure whether those can be deleted or not.

Do you want to 1) avoid generating these trace files, or do you want to 2) solve job/mail issue?

For 1, deactivating the trace should do the stuff.

For 2, what error do you have in the job log, in the trace flles, in SM21, in ST22 ?

Hi Sandra,

I want to avoid generating those WF_LOG files(from my screenshot) in the global directory.

Deactivating the trace - Where should I do that?

From where these WF_LOG files are getting generated?

Thanks.

Hi Vinita,

Deleting the trace files can be done using the standard program as specified in the below note.

1574038 - Build up of WF_LOG_* files in directory /sapmnt/<SID>/global

From the note it states the log does not have any relation with real time data too....

Question here is :

1.From where these log files are getting generated?Are they from External source(Fax,Email etc...)

2.From the note they are specifying it is because of the trace.All my trace settings are correct i believe soo(In SCOT-Inbox and Outbox are Active and Global is Deactivate).Do I have to change anything in the SCOT settings?

[vinita_kasliwal]

Generally can be due to the mail failure ...do you see a pattern as in how old are these logs ?

They must have accumulated over time and not overnight ?

These could be due to email failures etc ..

You can try to run the report and delete logs older than 7 days ..

Check in SOST and SOIN inbox if you see the failure return messages .
