Monitor Background Job Logs

The Monitor Background Job Logs app in SAP Entitlement Management System (EMS) is designed to provide administrators with visibility into the performance and outcomes of background jobs. As background jobs are often used to handle routine tasks or large data processing needs, being able to accurately track their execution is crucial for maintaining system health and efficacy.

The Monitor Background Job Logs app allows you to view details of the background job such as when it was started, when it ended, and whether it completed successfully or not. If it didn't complete successfully, the logs can provide insights into what went wrong.
