Using the PIPE DispatcherLocate this document in the navigation structure

Context

You process one or more tasks for a quantity of POS transactions in the background.

Procedure

  1. In the PIPE menu, choose Start of the navigation path POS Processing POS Data  Next navigation step  Parallel Processing End of the navigation path and start the PIPE Dispatcher (transaction /POSDW/PDIS).
  2. Set the data selection criteria you require. Enter the tasks to be processed by entering the corresponding task codes in the selection screen. In addition, you can restrict the POS transactions to be considered by way of store, posting date, and business transaction. If you require further selection criteria, you can extend the data selection area by choosing the pushbutton Further Selections.
  3. By selecting the appropriate checkbox in processing control you can:

    • Carry out a processing test run:

      The processing protocol displays the results of processing with your chosen selection criteria. The test run does not make any changes to the database.

    • Process errors:

      Tasks that have status Error or Error During Cancellation are taken into account in processing if you first choose the status Ready or Ready to be Canceled. Remove the errors so that the system can process the relevant tasks.

    • Consider Customizing changes:

      Tasks that have subsequently become active for POS transactions by way of Customizing changes are taken into account by the system.

    • Switch off prioritization of task processing:

      The system carries out processing of the tasks in the order in which they are entered on the selection screen. This way you can override the priorities assigned in task Customizing.

  4. You can enable parallel processing using the PIPE Dispatcher. To do so, select the Parallel Processing checkbox and enter the appropriate parameters in the selection screen.
  5. Then you can select the criteria for the processing protocol output. By selecting Protocols you can view the saved protocols of earlier processing. The system displays a specific selection screen for choosing the protocol. Here you can restrict the choice of the relevant protocol as well as set time restrictions, for example, for users or programs.
  6. Perform the processing once you have made all the settings. The result is displayed in the processing protocol if you have activated this. If errors have occurred, the system displays a red status symbol with a corresponding error message. If a processing step was performed successfully, the system displays a green status symbol.
  7. You can view the task status for individual POS transactions in the POS Workbench.
