Comments

This script element can be used to select messages according to particular application log criteria. Located messages are regularly written to the AE report. Alternately, you can also write them to a file that has been defined by using the parameter FILE=.

For example, this script element enables access to the SAP Banking Accounts Managements application log. Messages from processes and process networks that were started with BCA_ACTIVATE_PROCESS can so be analyzed in AE.

Automic recommends using script-element parameters in a way that the number of application-log messages can be handled. You can do so by using precise selection criteria.

By default, the generated files are stored on the computer on which the agent is installed (for example, R3_GET_JOB_SPOOL; FILE=).
