Transferal of Data
Use
If you have formatted data and created IDocs for a store, the system creates a trigger file. The Store Connection System (SCS) can then begin processing the data for the store concerned.
Integration
POS interface – outbound creates the trigger file in the directory path that is defined in the port descriptions for the status files.
When you maintain partner profiles for each store and message type, you can maintain a different port description. However, you must ensure that you either use only one single port description, or that at least the outbound files in the port descriptions that are used are defined the same.
Prerequisites
Features
The system stores information in the trigger file about the names of the individual data files and where they are located.
When data is prepared for POS outbound as a result of initialization, the change message or direct request, the system can issue the following messages:
This message is issued if:
This can happen if the help program, RWDPOSTG is also started, but this is only likely to happen in exceptional cases. In this case, this program creates the trigger file. This means that the data is still transferred.
This can only happen if no data for is available for preparation for this store, or the data that was to be prepared led to preparation errors. You must check the error log.
This is caused by an error in the ALE layer. One reason for this error could be that no outbound parameters have been created for this store in the ALE layer. You must correct the error in the ALE layer and restart the preparation program.
The errors that lead to this message are recorded in a general log for POS interface - outbound. You can display this log by choosing Goto ® General logs.
Activities
Normally, the system automatically creates trigger files during POS outbound processing. If, however, a trigger file could not be created for the converter (because there was insufficient disk space, for example), you do not need to repeat the formatting. You simply need to start program RWDPOSTG once you have corrected the cause of the problem. It checks whether any data still needs to be prepared for which no trigger file was created. If the system finds formatting like this, the program generates the relevant trigger files. Before you call this program, you must run a reorganization of the POS interface.
