Updating Check: TIS 

For updating checks you can:

 

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 transport processes to the information structures in terms of each specific user and event.

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

Procedure

This is how you configure the update log:

  1. In the R/3 System menu, select System ® User profile ® User parameters.
  2. In the PID field enter the parameter MCL and highlight Parameter value.
  3. Save the entries.
  4. To display the update log, go to the Customizing menu and select: Logistics Information System ® Logistics Data Warehouse ® Data Basis ® Updating ® Updating Control ® Update Log ® Display update log.

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.

 

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.
