Disable the auto refresh option to avoid complications and performance-related stresses associated with processing large volumes of data.
Manual Processing
You use manual processing to process the records of the selected message types into the corresponding objects. Proceed as follows:
Choose Manual Processing.
Select the message types to be processed.
Once you have selected the message types, the records of the corresponding staging tables are packaged according to a predefined (as displayed) or a changed package size. The records are processed in parallel processes and there are no visible changes on the interface.
Manually Deleting Erroneous Records
You might have to delete erroneous records manually if the records contain errors in key fields, as it is not possible to remove these erroneous records. Proceed as follows:
Choose Manual Deletion.
Select the staging tables of the message types that you would like to delete by selecting the corresponding checkboxes.
Choose Execute.
Cleaning Up Staging Tables
You can use this function to clean up the staging tables. This is only possible if there are dependent records that have no main record, for example, time-dependent data for a nonexistent main record, as the system never picks these records for processing.
Proceed as follows:
Choose Cleanup Staging.
Select the message types that you would like to clean up by selecting the corresponding checkboxes.
Choose Execute.
