Testing Canceled Updates (SAP Library - Updates in the SAP System (BC-CST-UP))

Testing Canceled Updates

Use

Performing a test is recommended in the following cases:

You suspect that a temporary problem has occurred, or you have corrected the update problem and now want to test the update to determine whether it functions correctly. If the test is completed successfully, the problem has been corrected.
You want to attempt to retrigger the error caused by the update problem. If the update is canceled during the test, the system outputs the error message with which the update was canceled. Click the message to call up online help.

Note

An error message that is displayed during the test is not necessarily the original message because the error message always depends on the current system conditions.

Procedure

In the Update Requests screen, position the cursor on the record you want to test, and then choose Update records ® Single test, or This graphic is explained in the accompanying text to test the canceled update record.

Caution

Do not test any updates that are waiting to be processed or are currently being processed (status = init , auto or run ) because processing could be canceled by the test. The different statuses are described in the section entitled The Most Important Update Statuses.

Result

Test processes the selected function module and then outputs a message (in the status bar) indicating that the update was successful or indicating an error.

Test does not make any changes to the database, or any changes made are reversed automatically after the update has been completed or canceled.

If the test was successful, you can run the canceled updates again ( Processing Updates Manually).
