Updating Check

You can check updating by displaying an update log, or by simulating the updating. Both functions are available in Customizing for the Logistics Information System.

Update Log

You can monitor the update process by generating a log of the activities. This shows you the flow of data from the Purchasing processes to the information structures in terms of each specific user and event.

Note Note

Please note that the update log is only generated for the last event which takes place. Old entries are therefore overwritten as soon as a new event is updated.

End of the note.

This is how you configure the update log:

  1. From the R/3 system menu select Start of the navigation path System Next navigation step User profile Next navigation step User parameters. End of the navigation path

  2. In the PID field enter the parameter MCL and place an X in the Parameter value.

  3. Save the entries.

Caution Caution

The system load increases when you display an update log. For this reason you should deactivate the log generation process after successfully checking an update.

End of the caution.

Simulation

If you wish to check the update of documents that have already been saved, due to changes you have made in Customizing, for instance, you can generate update logs from any sales and distribution documents, without causing an update of the information structures. In this way, you can check how a document would be updated, if the new settings in Customizing were taken into account. You can also use this type of updating check in the productive system without any problems.
