In the Data Messages view, the messages are grouped by namespace, interface name, and version, and also by key fields if these are customized.

Features

The Data Messages View Toolbar: SAP GUI

The following functions are provided:

  • To expand or collapse the selected nodes, choose Expand (Expand) or Collapse (Collapse).

  • Read messages

    To read messages, choose Read (Read). Reading a message means reading the corresponding application log, loading it into the Log Messages view, and displaying the data structure in the Data Structure view. If multiple messages are selected, displaying the data structure works only if the structure is the same in all selected messages. You have the following options:

    • Double-click a message for single selection

    • Double-click a node (root node, namespace, interface, or key field) for the selection of all messages in the whole sub-tree

    • Select any number of messages/nodes and choose Read

  • Restart

    To restart the selected message, choose Restart (Restart). If you have analyzed the error and corrected it, for example, by changing the value mapping, you can restart the message by choosing Restart. You can select single or multiple data messages or a whole node for restarting. After some seconds, choose Read on the main tool bar. All the views are updated and the status icon of the message indicates the new message status.

  • Cancel

    To cancel the selected message, choose Cancel (Cancel). The following are 3 different cases for canceling a message:

    • A new message was sent that was successful

    • The processing steps of the message were executed manually

    • The message has become irrelevant

    You are also able to cancel single or multiple messages. When you cancel a message, the status icon is updated.

    Note Note

    If you have canceled a message, you cannot restart the processing for this message anymore.

    End of the note.

  • Navigate to the standard monitor

    This is the monitor that is usually used to monitor messages of the interface technology that is used to process the messages of the selected SAP Application Interface Framework interface.

    Select a message and choose External: Monitor (External: Monitor). There you can find more detailed information about the message.

  • Maintain Trace Level

    To maintain the trace level for the selected message(s) or for a specific interface, select a message and choose Maintain Trace Level (Maintain Trace Level). If you need more information about why the processing of a message failed, you can increase the trace level for the interface and restart the message. It is important that you specify an expiry date for the trace level otherwise the message received by this interface will create more log messages than necessary.

  • Change Layout

    To change, save, and manage the layout of the hierarchical tree in the data message view, choose Select layout (Select layout). You select and manage a predefined layout or you can define a new layout that fits your needs.

The icon in the Data Message view should be updated.

Display of Messages in the Data Messages View: Both SAP GUI and Web-Based UI

  • The counter in the node text shows the number of messages in the corresponding sub-tree.

  • The status of a message is indicated by an icon.

    The following are examples of icons:

    • Scheduled (Scheduled)

      Message is in the queue but is not yet processed; See the qRFC Monitor.

    • Changed Manually (Changed Manually)

      Restart to reprocess the changed data message is necessary.

    • Application Error: Manual Restart Possible (Application Error: Manual Restart Possible)

      Errors are described in the log messages.

    • Manual Restart (Manual Restart)

      Message was manually restarted, it is in the queue, but is not yet processed (see qRFC Monitor).

    • Processed Successfully (Processed Successfully)

    • Canceled Manually (Canceled Manually)

    • IDoc was Edited (IDoc was Edited)

SAP GUI Only

  • The columns to the right of the tree depend on the layout variant. The following columns can be displayed:

    • Error statistics display the number of log messages that exist (also added up on each tree level). The error statistics are grouped into the number of abort, error, warning, success, and information log messages.

    • Message GUID and interface keys

  • The icons used for the hierarchy nodes depend on the current interface-specific Customizing.

    Example Example

    Pre-System No./Name (Pre-System No./Name)

    Sales Document Type (Sales Document Type)

    Sales Organization (Sales Organization)

    End of the example.

  • The node text of a message contains a temporary message index and the date and time. The message index is used to visualize the relation between the message in the Data Messages view and the log messages in the Log Messages view.
