Symptom
- SAP Analytics Cloud Agent is a web application (C4A_AGENT) which is deployed in the Apache Tomcat webserver to handle the connectivity between SAP Analytics Cloud and on-premise data sources after the Cloud Connector has successfully established the secure tunnel.
- The following trace/log information could be collected with SAC Agent and used to troubleshoot errors between SAP Analytics Cloud Agent and Data Source
- The Tomcat error log:
- File: <Tomcat_Install_Dir>/logs/tomcat-stderr.<DATE>.log (for example "tomcat7-stderr.2018-04-09.log").
- Inside this log file you should see an entry for the error.
Here are some examples:
April 09, 2018 11:29:48 AM com.sap.fpa.cloud.internal.DAException logException
SEVERE: Could not reach CMS '<Host IP Address>'. Specify the correct host and port and check for network issues. (FWM 20030)

Resolution
Increase the Apache Tomcat log level in one of these ways to enable more detail logging on your SAC agent
Method 1
- Start the Apache Tomcat client tool.
- Go to the Logging tab.
- Change the Level to Debug.
- Restart Apache Tomcat.
Method 2
- Edit the \conf\logging.properties file under the Apache Tomcat folder. Refer to the Apache Tomcat documentation for details.
- Restart Apache Tomcat.
Method 3
- Add a logging.properties file under the Tomcat folder \webapps\C4A_AGENT\WEB-INF\classes, with this content:
handlers = com.sap.fpa.logging.CoreLogger
com.sap.fpa.logging.CoreLogger.level=WARNING - Optionally, you can also Enable extra logging of request and response details by doing the following
(Important! These extra details may contain credentials and other secrets, so Log cleanup is highly recommended after debugging):- Start the Apache Tomcat client tool.
- Go to the Java tab.
- Under "Java Options", add the following line to the end:-DSAP_CLOUD_AGENT_LOG_REQUEST_DETAILS=true
- Restart Apache Tomcat.
After that, trigger the workflow a few times in SAC and then go to the Apache Tomcat log folder to get the latest logs:
- <Tomcat_Install_Dir>/logs/tomcat-stderr.<DATE>.log (for example "tomcat7-stderr.2018-04-09.log").
- <Tomcat_Install_Dir>/logs/catalina.<DATE>.log (for example "catalina.2018-04-09.log")
Note: it is recommended to reduce the log level back to its previous settings once trace files are collected.
