Log Viewer 

Use

You use the Log Viewer tab to display the log for the SDM work steps.

You can display the work steps of the server and the graphical user interface (GUI). To switch between the logs, choose  Show Current Server Log or  Show Current GUI Log.

You can also choose  Choose Other Log to display other logs created by the SDM. You can choose from the following logs:

Log Name	Content
sdm_server.out	Server output to Stdout
sdm_server.err	Server output to Stderr
sdm_remotegui.out	GUI output to Stdout
sdm_remotegui.err	GUI output to Stderr
sdmlogYYYYMMDD.log	SDM log created by SDM Server
sdmguiYYYYMMDD.log	GUI log created by SDM Server
sdmclYYYYMMDDHHMMSS.log	Client session log. For example, deployment with SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio.
jddilogYYYYMMDDHHMMSS.log	Log of a JDDI deployment. The content of this log is also included in sdmlog.

You can use  Find to search for text strings within the logs. This helps you to navigate in the log.

The logs are all located under <sdm_home>/log.
