SLOG,ULOG,ALOG and TP Return codes

SLOG,ULOG,ALOG and TP RETURN CODES

All logs in the transport environment are stored in the

transport subdirectory log. These logs include logs created by tp (ULOG, SLOG and ALOG), and logs created by the various transport tools.

ULOG:

The current ULOG file records all tp commands that are free of syntax errors, and is named using the name convention ULOG<YY>_<one digit>. Each line in the ULOG file represents a tp command.

SLOG:

The SLOG file is used to monitor the transport activities of a specific SAP System. It contains a general overview of performed imports indicating the return code and thus the success of each import. The name of the SLOG file can be set as tp parameter using the global parameter syslog. The default setting is SLOG<YY><WW>.<SID>.

ALOG:

The ALOG file records the return code for all transport steps handled in the common transport directory. The name of the ALOG file can be set as tp parameter using the global parameter alllog. The default value is ALOG<YY><WW>.

tp receives return codes from all the transport tools involved in an import process.

tp.s own return code following exit is interpreted as follows:

 0 to 16:  

indicate the maximum value of all return codes from transport tools.

 17 to 99:

 are values that are calculated from the return codes of the transporttools and a tp warning, for example, the buffer of the target  system has no write permission.

100 to 199:

 indicates warnings. Warnings mean that something went wrong and tp could not perform all the tasks.

 100 to 149 are normal tp warnings.

For example, RDDIMPDP cannot be triggered by sapevt.

Return codes of 150 to 199 are rare and indicate incorrect operation by a user.For example,a return code of 152 is received if tp tries to import a request that is not included in the buffer.

200 or more indicates tp errors. For example, if a file could not be accessed as required by the import process, the return code is 212.

The accompanying text is more significant than the value of a return code. To display the text of a specific tp return code, use the tp command tp explain rc <value of return code>.
