Hi experts,
We are running an SMP 3.0 SP07 installation.
Thinking of failures that may occur in our landscape, we are thinking what happens if the SMP server logs fill up very quickly that prevents us for tracking an issue.
An example to illustrate:
The load on the system is big and fills up in a day (we have the default configuration with 20MB size logs a total of 13 files, older is overwritten).
An issue occurs e.g. memory that fills the logs with a specific error but not the route cause of the failure. In that case, we need to search further back maybe 2-3 days so we can find the root cause of the failure.
Here comes the question of archiving. I a aware that most SAP systems have the same configuration for logs, although these are then archived for a period of 30/90 days on a separate location.
Is this the same on SMP 3.0 and how can someone enable it?
Have any of you implemented something like that in your installation?
I was thinking implementing a script that will copy the log files over to another location but i was wondering whether there is a standard procedure that i am not aware of.
Thanks in advance!
