you to simulate service
execution. (Similar to
tools like RESTClient for
Firefox)

The Error Log for SAP

NetWeaver Gateway
hub systems is a helpful
addition to the existing
Application Log Viewer
and provides detailed

processes.
Application Log Cleanup

/IWFND/
CLEANUP_APPSLOG

Over time the application

log amasses a lot of
entries, which periodically
need to be cleared. As
default the application
log should only store
one entry per request. In
addition, there is no need
to store these entries
for more than a day or
a few days. Application
log cleanup is a standard
requirement in productive
systems and helps to
improve the performance
of the systems in your
system landscape.

Clear Cache

Cleanup Gateway
Metadata Cache

Disable Cache

/IWFND/MED_ACTIVATE Disable Gateway

Includes various functions

for monitoring, analysis,
and troubleshooting in
the ICF environment. You
can also make use of
the central Application
Server analysis functions
to identify issues such as
performance problems in
ICF applications.

SAP NetWeaver Gateway

is monitored automatically
within the Computing
Center Management
System (CCMS) in SAP
CCMS Monitors for

in use, and how often
they are called up. The
information is updated
hourly and relates to
todays date, since

after midnight all
values are initialized
once they have been
read out.
Performance Trace

/IWFND/TRACES

The Support Utilities

offering for SAP
NetWeaver Gateway
has been extended to
include a Performance
Trace tool. This tool
enables developers,
administrators, support
consultants, and end
users to monitor system
performance at service
call level. You can trace
the performance of both
the SAP Business Suite
backend system and the
SAP NetWeaver Gateway
hub system.

Hi Facundo,
since SAP Gateway is using the stateless OData protocol with shortlived sessions there shouldn't be too many
active user sessions in a SAP Gateway server

Or are you looking for some reporting telling you how many calls have been made to a certain service in the
last hour, today, ... ?
Best Regards,
Andre

Hi Everyone! Great blog Paul. Customers are wondering about monitoring current active user sessions on
Netweaver Gateway. Is there any way you know to achieve this?

Are you sure about /IWFND/CLEANUP_APPSLOG and /IWFND/BD_MGW_MDL_COMPOSITION? I think this
names are even longer than the allowed transaction name length....
