Use
The status records log the stages through which the IDoc passes along its path, for example "generated" or "ready for dispatch". This data is important for monitoring communication and compiling statistics.
Features
Processing
The subsystem can inform you of the processing stages for an IDoc which has been received. The following status confirmation (or status report) methods are possible:
The status records that the confirmation can contain depends on the configuration and technical capabilities of the subsystem.
Do not confuse the status information contained in the SYSTAT01 data records, which refer to a different (your) IDoc received by the partner, with the status records of SYSTAT01 itself! These are not discussed here.
Exception Handling
If the status confirmation indicates a communication error, exception handling is started (see also:
Rule Resolution in Exception Handling). A workflow can be triggered, during which the users responsible can respond to the communication error. In the standard system, exception handling is implemented using process code EDIR, which refers to task TS70008125. If you execute the work item as the recipient, the status record of the corresponding outbound IDoc is displayed. You can attempt to resend the IDoc. However, the partner profiles are not read again: All data required for dispatch is read from the control record. If, for example, you have exchanged the port in the partner profiles, the IDoc is still sent to the original port.As an alternative there is the process code EDIS with the task TS30000078, which only allows a status record to be displayed, but not the resending of the outbound IDoc.
When a Release change occurs, you must carry out the IMG activity Extended exception handling for status confirmation use to switch from EDIS to EDIR.
The recipient is determined in the following order:
Activities
You can decide which status is classified as an error status and therefore starts exception handling: Choose SAP Menu
® Tools ® Business Communications ® IDoc Basis ® Control ® Status ® Maintain Status Values. In the detail screen enter a Process code that refers to a workflow. The workflow implements the exception handling in the standard system. In general however, it does not have to be like this. For more information, see Exception Handling: Procedure.In status maintenance you can also display or change the status group (qualification) assignments which play an important role in the monitoring programs.
