Procedure documentationCreating a Write Variant for HRPA_CMNTN

 

The system uses the RP_PA_COMMUNICATION_WRI write program to generate an archive file based on a run of the RP_PA_COMMUNICATION_DEL preprocessing program.

You can run the program in test mode or productive mode. Irrespective of this, you always need to create a variant for the write program (or select an existing variant). For this purpose, you have the following selection criteria and options available:

  • Session ID of Preproc.Program

    From the input help for this field, you choose the run in which the preprocessing program selected the data to be destroyed for this write program.

  • Comment/Note

    You enter a short text for this archiving session for the destruction of data.

  • Test Run

    If you select this checkbox, the write program is started in test mode. No archive files are created and no data is deleted from the database. The delete program is not started.

    If you do not select this checkbox, the write program is started in productive mode and archive files are created for the destruction of data.

  • Detailed Log

    If you select this checkbox, a detailed log is generated. Only use this option to perform an error analysis in test mode. Since the log is very detailed you must not use it in productive mode.
