The Support Package Manager contains various types of logs. During queue definition, you can use the queue calculation log for troubleshooting purposes.
After successfully importing the queue, you should always check the import log and the action log.
Queue Calculation Log
The queue calculation log displays detailed information for queue calculation. The log is structured hierarchically. The highest package occupies the highest position. Among other things, this log lists the prerequisites for importing the package. This allows you to determine which prerequisites have not been met, thus preventing a successful queue calculation.
If analyzing the log does not solve your problem, you can save it using the print function and make it available to SAP Support as part of a problem message.
Import Log
The import log displays logs for Support Package Manager phases that the transport control program tp uses.
- Log files for several phases:
| Phase | Log File |
| DISASSEMBLE_PATCH | Create cofile |
| TEST_IMPORT | Test import |
| IMPORT_OBJECT_LIST | Import command file |
| CREATE_VERS_BEFORE | Create object versions |
| DDIC_IMPORT | Import Data Dictionary |
| DDIC_ACTIVATION | Activate Data Dictionary |
| INACTIVE_IMPORT | Inactive import of program code and program texts (only for import mode downtime-minimized) |
| IMPORT_PROPER | Import Import steps not specific to transport request (Distribute Data Dictionary, active/inactive runtime objects, …) |
| XPRA_EXECUTION | Execute XPRAs/methods |
| ABAP_GENERATION | Generate ABAP/screens |
- Return codes
| Return Code | Meaning |
| 0 or 4 | System information and warnings Warnings are generally not critical for the system. However, you should check them because subsequent errors may occur. |
| Greater than 4 | Serious errors that you must correct before you can successfully close the import. |
Action Log
The action log contains information about the actions that take place during the individual phases when importing the current queue. Among other things, this includes information about the point at which a phase was stopped, as well as detailed error information.
