Reading data which was wrote using fm BAL_LOG_MSG_ADD

[Former Member]

I have two queries:

1) My z program is writing logs Using fn modules

BAL_LOG_CREATE

and

BAL_LOG_MSG_ADD

.

<b>Where can I view the log. Which tcode?</b>

I have seen <b>SM21</b> but there is no entry for my transaction.

2) What is the suitable way of writing log to SAP. My program is Posting goods movements with the help of fn module BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE.

Code realted to point 1.

Try using the fm: BAL_LOG_MSG_READ passing the same parameters.

Q 1. Where can I view the log. Which tcode?

SLG1

Q 2. (To best of my knowledge, which is very limited First we need to create a Z log object and subobject (transaction SLG0). Save it using fn BAL_DB_SAVE
