Deleting Sessions

Use

Normally, batch input sessions are deleted from the session list automatically when they are completed. However, sessions remain in the list if any of the following is true:

• They were generated with the KEEP option.

• They contain errors or were aborted with the /bend OK code. (Such a session is deleted when you finish processing it, unless it was generated with the KEEP option.)

When you no longer need sessions that have been held in the list, you can explicitly delete them.

Do not delete any sessions that contain unprocessed transactions. You must first correct and process such transactions or enter the data in the transactions into the SAP system in some other way.

Prerequisites

Start the batch input management tool: Select System  Service  Batch input  Sessions. Alternate: Enter transaction SM35. Both paths take you to the session overview of the batch input system.

Procedure

To delete a session from the session queue, mark the sessions to be deleted and choose Delete from the tool bar. The system asks you to confirm the deletion. It also asks you if the session log should be deleted together with the session.
