Functions for Versioned Notifications

Use

In the Versioned Notification screen area on the Notification tab, central functions that affect the entire versioned notification with the related notification versions are offered. These functions lead directly to changes in the configuration database; the display is then refreshed. Therefore, the PCo Management Console prompts you to save any unsaved changes to the agent instance before the function is triggered.

Features

Activating the Draft Version of a Versioned Notification

If you choose the Activate Draft Versioned Notification pushbutton, the draft version of a notification is converted into a current version. The subscription items assigned to that draft version are activated and the version of the notification that is now current starts sending notification messages.

When a draft version is activated, the version that was current until now (if there was one) becomes an expiring version. An expiring version of a versioned notification does not receive any more changes from the source system, but still processes the notification messages that remain in the message queue.

Pausing the Versioned Notification

You can pause the current notification version by choosing the Pause Current Versioned Notification pushbutton. The current version and any expiring notification versions no longer send any notification messages. Moreover, the current notification version no longer processes any change messages from the source system.

Resuming the Versioned Notification

If you choose the Resume Paused Versioned Notification pushbutton, the current version and any expiring notification versions revert to their normal status. The current version processes change messages from the source system again; both versions send notification messages again.

Deleting the Versioned Notification

When you call this function, you can choose between the following options:

  • Delete all notification versions

  • Only delete current notification versions

    If you choose this option, you can also decide if you want the current version to become an expiring version so that any notification messages still in the queue can be sent.

  • Delete draft version only

Unlocking a Versioned Notification

Versioned notifications that were created via SAP MII cannot normally be changed in the Management Console. In exceptional cases, you can choose the Unlock pushbutton to make it possible to change the versioned notification in the Management Console.
