SAP Data Modeler - Configuring and Reviewing Logs

OneConnect Working with Logs

The OneConnect solution offers two options for reviewing entity logs:
  1. Standard OneConnect Log – Logs are stored in the standard OneConnect logging table.

  2. TXT File in a Server Directory – Logs are saved as a .txt file in a specified server file path.

The choice of where to store the logs is entirely up to the user and is configured individually for each entity during setup.

These logs record every process executed by an entity within the transaction ZONT_ONECM, providing full traceability of operations for monitoring and debugging purposes.

Follow these steps to configure and review the logs by entity:

Configuring Log Type by Entity

Enter transaction ZONT_ONECM

.

Inside the transaction, select an entity to create or modify,
and follow the steps to configure the Main Customizing Data of the entity as explained in the following manual: Entity Creation and Configuration

Once you are in the Main Customizing Data section, locate the Log Types setting.
If you select "Standard", no additional information will be requested by the system.


If you select "Server File", you will be required to provide an existing directory path where the system can store the .txt log files.
Make sure the specified path is valid and accessible from the application server.

After selecting the Log Type, click on "Save Customizing" to save your configuration changes.


Reviewing Logs

There are two alternatives for reviewing logs, depending on the configuration set for a specific entity:

  1. Using the OneConnect Standard Log – Logs are stored and accessed through the standard OneConnect interface.

  2. Using the Server File – Logs are saved as a .txt file in a defined server directory path.

Each entity’s configuration determines which method is used, and both provide full traceability of execution events.

Standard Log

Enter transaction ZONT_ONECM

.

Within the OneConnect transaction, open the "Execution" menu at the top and select "Display Log"

In the next screen, select the Domain of the entity you want to review, and fill in the additional parameters to filter your search as needed. (leave the Object Log as ZONI_OC)

In the Message Types field, choose the type of message you want to review. Available options include: Errors, Warnings, Success or All messages

This allows you to narrow down the log results based on the nature of the messages generated by the entity.

In the resulting list, the user can identify several key elements related to the execution of entities.
The most relevant fields include:

  • Time and Date – Indicates when the information was sent.

  • User – Specifies the user who triggered the data transmission.

  • Entity – The name of the executed entity.

  • Object – The real-time object used to send the information (if applicable).

  • Table – The name of the table involved in the transmission.

  • Key – The key value from the transmitted table.

  • Message Text – Displays the result or outcome message of the execution.

  • RFC Destination – Indicates the endpoint to which the information was sent.




Server File

If the information was stored in a server file, you can access the log by using transaction AL11.


In the transaction, locate the directory path that was configured for the entity.


Inside the directory, you should find a .txt file named after the entity.


Open the file to view all the logs related to that specific entity.
