sap-usi-logging-api
An object-oriented encapsulation around SAP's Application Log (transaction SLG1), controlled by customizing, with attachable data containers that SLG1 shows behind a detail button.
An easy-to-use, object-oriented encapsulation around the SAP application log (Transaction SLG1), controlled by customizing so log levels set how much detail is recorded. Data containers attach structured data to a log message beyond plain text, and SLG1 shows them with a detail button that opens a popup for that data. A variety of data containers exist for common cases already, and new ones can be added when needed.

Purpose
This reusable component allows the creation of complete, comprehensive logs with almost no effort and extends SAP's standard logging API by powerful features.
Logging error situations instead of debugging them can:
- significantly reduce support efforts
- boost developer productivity
- speed up the processing of tickets
- aid in analyzing bugs that are hard to debug
The component is:
- based on SAPs application log (Transaction SLG1)
- easy to use
- well documented
- controlled by customizing (Log levels will control the detail level of the logs)
- completely object-oriented
The component enhances the capabilities of the SAP standard by so-called data containers, that can be used to attach virtually any type of data to log messages making them even more valuable. A variety of data containers for common use cases already exists, but new containers can easily be added whenever needed. The screenshot below shows how seamlessly they are integrated into the SAP standard. Messages with data containers have a detail button that opens a popup and the data can be accessed directly from SLG1.
