Summary :
The SAP Note addresses how to safely delete syslog files, designated for issues tracking and system behavior logging, across SAP systems. For precise management, the note specifies that multiple syslogs across individual application servers, plus a central syslog, are present, particularly on UNIX systems. The central syslog paths and those for local syslogs are detailed, including commands and SAP reports (RSPFPAR, sapparar) to identify file locations. Key operational guidance includes stopping SAP R/3, managing shared memory segments, and ensuring system restarts to automatically recreate necessary log files following deletion. Additional SAP notes are cited for handling potential complications or incorrect file recreation.
