Summary :
When the SAP system is not operable, the RSLGVIEW program, residing in the EXE directory as a standalone entity, can be utilized to access system logs essential for troubleshooting. Although not all functionalities of transaction SM21 are accessible in this offline mode, RSLGVIEW provides a vital workaround. The program supports various parameters for customizing log views (e.g., output format, file orientation), as detailed in the utility's help listing. Usage commands such as 'rslgview [options]' enable specifying a direct file path, local file read, or interactive session controls. Specific command permutations facilitate targeted data retrieval or real-time, manageable log interactions.
