Enable gateway logging
Parameter Description
You can use this parameter to log certain gateway activities in a separate file.
The simplest way to make this setting is using the Gateway Monitor, transaction SMGW.
Goto -> Expert Functions -> Logging
You can make all of the necessary settings on this selection screen.
The settings you can make include the following:
File Name
You can use special characters in the name of the log file; these are overwritten accordingly at system runtime. These include
- %y – Year
- %m – Month
- %d – Day
- %h – Hour
- %t – Minute
- %s – Second
The name of the log file is set under the subparameter LOGFILE.
Log Events
Log entries can be written to the following events:
- T – Network
- X – Start/stop/signals
- S – Security
- s – Rejected accesses only
- Z – Rejected accesses without rules
- M – Monitor commands
- P – Dynamic parameter changes
- O – Open RFC connections
- C – RFC actions (open, close, send, receive)
- E – External programs
- R – Registered programs
- V – Create/delete conv IDs
The events are set under the subparameter ACTION.
Switch Criteria
New log files are created with a time-controlled switch.
The following times are available:
- hour – Hourly
- day- Daily
- week – Weekly
- month – Monthly
- year – Yearly
The new log file is created at the start of a new hour, day, week, month, or year.
The maximum file size is also a switch criterion. Provided the maximum size is not exceeded, a new log file is created.
You can also specify to continue writing to the old log file, rather than generating a new one.
You set the time-controlled switch criteria under the subparameter SWITCHTF; you can specify the maximum size of the file under MAXSIZEKB.
FILEWRAP=on specifies that files can be rewritten.
