        • Selection
        Selection parameters: "Test Run" and "Log File"
        If you set the flag "Test Run" (default value), only a test run isstarted, this means that the data is not written to the database. Inthis case, logging is performed in the memory and cannot be accessedsubsequently.
        If this flag is not set, an update run is started. In this case, thelogging takes place in a file (log file) that you specify. This filemust be accessible from the current application server and writeauthorization must exist at operating system level. At SAP level, theuser must have the relevant authorization for the authorization objectS_DATASET.
        For an update run, a check is made to see whether the log file isspecified and accessible.

        Output
        Test Run: Log information is written to the memory and is displayedfrom there after the run and then deleted.
        Update Run: Log information is written in the file to be specified anddisplayed from there after the run. After the run, it is available inthe log file.
