Displaying Queue Management Information

Use

Batch input sessions use the generic queue management system of SAP system. If required, (for example on request by SAP Service), you can display a dump of a queue that is being used for batch input. The dump includes queue management information as well as the management information and data in the session.

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. transaction SM35.

Procedure

To display queue information, mark a session and select Goto  Queue.

Not all of the queue management fields displayed are used by the batch input system; the queue management functions are used by other queues in the system as well. Some of the most important fields that are used by the batch input system are as follows:

• Client: The client in which a session is to run.

• Groupid: The session name.

• QID: The internal ID of a session. The ID is used for queue management with System  Services  Queue.

• QSTATE: A character indicating the status of the batch input session.

• QERASE: If marked, indicates that the KEEP option is set. If KEEP is set, the system does not delete the session after it is successfully run.

• USERID: User to be used for authorization testing if a session is submitted for background execution.
