Use Transaction code SSAA to reach all kinds of logs, statistics and much more about daily, weekly and monthly tasks. No need to waste time by one by, in SSAA it is all bundled.

Hi,

The following are the important transaction

1)st02,st06,st04,sm12,sm13,sm37,sm50/sm66,db02,db01,db03,db12,db13

2)In st02 tune summary

we check swap and hit ratio

3)In sm50

there should be no process in hold

4)in st06 we go in detail analysis menu and then in file system we check size of files which is in % it should be not less then 5%

5)in sm12

we check there should be no locks for more then one day

6)In sm37.

Tcode for maintaining the servers are many, as you had mentioned sm21 records the activites of the entire system, but you can check the tcode's st02, st03n/g, and even you can set the traces for some activites like system trace, and also you have to monitor the database, OS using they t-code and I will tell that monitoring the SAP system will be known well when you had daily problems and also you have to well versed with this tcodes.

Hi Anjali,

Beside the transactions above there is 100's of logs in SAP... but the ones I always keep an eye on are the DB alert logs via DB16 or at /oracle/<sid>/saptrace/background/alert_<sid>.log where you find more detailed info. Also is good to have a look at the work processes traces every so often like dev_w* and if you use java then monitor the defaulttrace.
