Simulating Processes in the SAP Application System and SAP EM 

Use

To see the consequences of saving, updating, or deleting an SCEM-relevant business object in the application system, you can simulate processes. This provides you with an overview of all the processes in SCEM.

SAP EM does not save the values from the simulation.

Prerequisites

·        You have set up Customizing for the SAP application system.

·        You have set up Customizing for SAP Event Management (SAP EM).

Procedure

...

       1.      In the application system, choose the transaction for defining business process types (/SAPTRX/ASC0AO).

       2.      Choose Simulation as the mode for a business process type.

       3.      Save the change.

In doing this, you have set the simulation mode not only for all SCEM-relevant process steps in the application system, but also for the process steps in SAP EM.

       4.      Start the simulation by either saving, changing or deleting an SCEM-relevant business object in the application system (for example, a shipment document).

The system displays the chosen business process type and the application object types that belong to it.

       5.      Choose Continue or Cancel.

When data is updated, SAP EM shows the various processes step-by-step (depending on your Customizing for the application system and SAP EM). For example, you can check the following within the various processes:

¡        The parameter list in the application system

¡        The current SAP EM

¡        The expected events created

¡        The event handler types that SAP EM has determined

If you choose to cancel, the simulation activity is aborted and the SAP Easy Access screen appears.

The simulation also transfers the SCEM-relevant data from the application system to SAP EM.

You can cancel the simulation at any point.

Result

·        The system has simulated all SCEM-relevant processes.

·        If the simulation is successful, you can start the process in the active business process mode.

·        If problems occur, you know where and in which process you can make corrections, if required.
