Limiting the size of the adapter log

The adapter log can, over time, take up a significant amount of disk space. To save disk space, you can set this log to automatically truncate. When you set automatic truncation, by default SAP prints the truncated entries to the default printer of the user who set up the job. Therefore, you might also want to control the print options.

Make sure you have successfully installed the IBM WebSphere BI Station tool on the SAP server.

To limit the size of the adapter log, use the following procedure.


Procedure

  1. If IBM WebSphere BI Station is not currently displayed, enter transaction /n/CWLD/HOME_AEP.

  2. To display the Management page, click Management.
  3. Under Maintenance, click Delete Log.

  4. In the WebSphere BI Delete Log Entries page, enter values to indicate which log entries you want to delete.

    You can delete a range of entries or the entries associated with a specific object. You can delete entries associated with a specific user or entries that were logged within a range of dates. You can also indicate that only entries older than a certain number of days should be deleted, and you can specify that a certain number of the most recent entries not be deleted.

    The entries being deleted from the log are saved to the file specified in the Output truncated data to field.

  5. Click the Execute button.

    To schedule the automatic truncation of the event log, set up the truncation options and contact your Basis administrator to schedule report /CWLD/DELETE_LOG.


Results

The specified log entries are deleted.
