[Former Member]

Hi All

This is a very trivial question,

but can you guys please let me how and where to check the result log for DP to SNP release of demand job ran in background. (RTS_output_fcst)

Also its not recommended to use this report for background release,can you suggest the alternative report for this purpose then

Thanks in advance

Rahul,

//MC62 only deals with a limited subset of logs. All DP logs can be viewed/managed in /SAPAPO/MC8K

Background jobs must be specifically created to generate logs, if your intention is to view them later. If your current jobs do not generate logs, execute /SAPAPO/MC8E, select your job, enter a tick mark in "Generate Log".

Thanks a lot DB49

I wish to view the log for forecast release to 'SNP. and I think its been scheduled in background using RTS_OUTPUT_FCST which cannot be viewed using MC8K.

Can you suggest how can check the result log for this, please

Rahul,

I guess you mean program /SAPAPO/RTSOUTPUT_FCST. It is not recommended to use this program for large datasets. I personally only use this during development; later it is advisable to move any regular processing to standard DP jobs.

If the logging has been activated for /SAPAPO/RTSOUTPUT_FCST in the job variant, then you can display the log in SLG1. Look for object APO_FCS.

Thanks for your answer DB49

Yea, I did read this in one of the OSS note to avoid to use this report. However consultants before have already implemented and in business its difficult to convince already running jobs

I will check SLG1 and come back, as I dont have access to this yet!

Thanks a lot (points awarded)

Hi Rahul,

Might be a very trivial answer to your question.

If a SM37 job is running for your release using /SAPAPO/RTSOUTPUT_FCST report, go to SM37.

Give job name as *, user name also as * or if you know the background user (background user for SM37) name, give the same.

Give "/SAPAPO/RTSOUTPUT_FCST" as ABAP program name in the last section "Job step". When you execute with your required date range you will get a list of all the programs that use the report /SAPAPO/RTSOUTPUT_FCST and had start condition as what you gave above.

Select your required job, and check out the "job log" and the "spool". These should also have more details about your job logs.

I guess using MC8K is the right approach and thanks Pawan background logs
