SCM Queue Manager
Definition
The SCM Queue Manager is available as of SAP APO Support Package 14.
It enables you to check from SAP APO the local system as well as all connected systems. For this, the output queues are sorted according to their assignment to a publishing type (for example, in-house production, planned independent requirement, planning file entry, and so on). This facilitates the assignment of the listed output queue.
Use
As with the qRFC Monitor, the SCM Queue Manager monitors application errors in its own system and in all connected systems. The SCM Queue Manager is significantly more user-friendly than the qRFC Monitor, due to the way in which its results are displayed. All connected systems are displayed as root nodes in a tree structure. If you expand the node the different object types appear as branches. The status of the output queues for the individual object types is represented by symbols. You can double-click on objects at both the root and branch level to see additional information in the main window of the results screen. From the SCM Queue Manger you can also call up the most important functions of the qRFC Monitor (activate/stop/delete queue) or the qRFC Monitor of a target system. For queues with errors you can navigate to the application log of the receiving system directly from the SCM Queue Manager.
