Display joblog (SM37) in source system

After having upgraded a customers BI system to version 7.0 last weekend (and worked lots of hours), the last step was to extract the missing delta data from the R/3 source system. As a pre-caution all collective runs were stopped in both clients, prior to the upgrade, so they needed to be restarted (by CONTROL-M).
When I logged on to client A of the R/3 system and watched the joblog of the collective run, I found out that data was extracted from the Qrfc and placed within the delta queue. Unfortunately the delta queue (RSA7) showed no delta data, so I was really puzzled.
Luckely a not so tired colleague pointed out that SM37 is CLIENT INDEPENDENT and thus I was looking at the joblog of the collective run which has ran in client B (Even though I was logged on to client A)!!


To make sure that you're looking at the right joblog, it's advisable to always display the client within the joblog overview.
Settings --> Layout --> Change layout (drag CLIENT from right to left)
