Maximum wait for conversion (in hours)

Definition

Entry of wait period (hours, minutes, seconds) the converter waits to start a conversion.

Procedure

Because the wait period is already blocked in the work process for the batch job and the number of work processes for batchjobs is limited in your system, we recommend you keep the wait period as short as possible. These keeps keeps your batch job from blocking other batch jobs from important enterprise areas, such as controlling.

If you want to start the conversion 4 hours and 30 minutes later enter the following:

Maximum wait period for conversion (hours):

04:30:00

Dependencies

Conversion of documents

Before conversion starts the following steps are executed automatically:

• The documents to be converted are locked.

• The system looks for a free converter and locks it from other users.

If one of the required objects is not available all other objects are unlocked. A time is randomaly selected (abnormal time). The wait period is increased by each run and the steps are executed again.

Conversion of BOMs

Before a conversion begines the following steps are executed automatically:

• When the transformation matrices are written into the SAP System the system each assembly of the BOM as a single level. If an assembly cannot be locked the system attempts to lock the next node.

• The system looks for a free converter and locks it from other users.

After the wait period the system attempts again to lock any unlocked documents again.

End and cancellation of the conversion

The conversion attempts are repeated so long until one of the following situations occurs:

• All objects are locked and the conversion is executed.

• The following time has expired, that is, run out: Maximum wait period for conversion (hours, minutes, seconds)
