SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: SL - System log

• Message number: 267

• Message text: terminated: incomplete file

What causes this issue?

The hard disk was full in operation and was still full when the system
log collection program 'rslgcoll' was completed. The program was
therefore unable to write all the data to the system log.
You can see which hard disk is being used in the profile parameter
'rslg/central/file'.

System Response

Transaction SM21:
System log analysis: the newest entries are missing.
Transaction ST11:
The program wrote the following error message in one of the stderr
files:
'read half record'

How to fix this error?

Use program RSLG0019.
The collection program should function correctly if you restart the
system.
You can also start the collection program manually, but then you also
have to stop it manually later. The way in which it was started is shown
in the same stderr file as the error message.
