Activating Table Change Logs in the System. Transaction SCU3

Activating Table Change Logs in the System. Transaction SCU3

Explanation of the Issue

You logged into the system to analyze table change logs (let’s assume that), using transaction SCU3, but received the following message:

A similar situation occurs if you choose the command Goto -> Change log in the SPRO context menu.

Let’s figure out how to enable these logs.

Solution

Modify the rec/client parameter for your system profile. This can be done via transaction RZ10.

An example of modifying the system parameter in the profile is presented in the note: Problems When Launching a WebDynpro Application.

The rec/client parameter can take the following values:

  • ALL – if you want to activate logging in all available clients of the system;
  • client1, client2, client3 – if you want logging only in the specified clients of the system.

N.B. Pay attention: using the ALL parameter may negatively affect system performance.

N.B. After making changes to the system profile, you must restart the application server.

See: REC/CLIENT Parameter in the System Profile
See: Setting Rec/Client Parameter for Logging

Check the results by launching transaction SCU3 for the table you're interested in.
