Checking for Repository Processing Errors 

Use

If errors in the following repository operations occur, the CCMS system repository reports them in the monitoring architecture (Transaction RZ20):

Procedure

  1. Choose CCMS ® Control/Monitoring ® Alert monitor. Alternatively, call Transaction RZ20.
  2. Expand the SAP CCMS Technical Expert Monitors and open the CCMS Selfmonitoring (old version) monitor.
  3. Check the MoniInfra_ branches in this monitor for CSM log attributes. If an error occurred during a repository operation, this MTE will be highlighted in red.

If the MTE is highlighted in red, this usually means that the repository was unable to complete data collection fully on the local system, or that it unable to complete reconciling data with the central repository.

  1. Since such problems may often be transient in nature, the correct response is to repeat the operation that failed. If the operation continues to fail, you can purge and re-build the affected repository. To purge a repository, call Transaction SE16 and delete all entries from tables CSMBK and CSMBK_OBJ. If class definition errors have occurred, you can also purge tables CSMBK_CL and CSMBK_TK. These tables are automatically refilled when the data suppliers of the system repository run.

Before you purge a system repository, you should determine whether it is a central repository, or if it has been registered with a central repository. If so, you must also purge the central repository and all subsidiary repositories that have been registered with it. You must then repeat the registration process for each repository.

You can refill a repository when you update the local repository. You can repeat a reconciliation by recreating a central repository.
