Function documentationReplication and Realignment Queues

 

You use this function if you want to display information about the status and contents of the replication and realignment queues in the clients defined in your CRM system.

Integration

You call this function from your SAP Easy Access screen, under: Start of the navigation path Architecture and Technology Next navigation step Middleware Next navigation step Monitoring Next navigation step Queues Next navigation step Monitor R&R Queues End of the navigation path.

Features

With this function, the five replication and realignment queues are displayed for the current client:

  • AC_EXTRACT

    This queue contains entries that are created by the administration console, as soon as a data extract is to be carried out. Based on these entries, the system runs corresponding jobs that extract the data.

  • EXTRACTBLK

    This queue contains entries for jobs to extract data from BDoc types of the type Bulk. The entries are created by the administration console.

  • EXTRACT

    This queue contains entries for jobs to extract data from other BDoc types. The entries are created via realignment.

  • REALIGN

    This queue contains entries for BDoc types whose distribution requires a realignment. The appropriate jobs are then run.

  • SUBCHECK

    This queue contains entries that are created by the administration console, as soon as a new subscription is created, or an existing subscription is changed or deleted. The appropriate jobs are then run.

    Note Note

    If the dataset on a mobile client does not match the definitions in the administration console, you can create SUBCHECK jobs in the administration console, to solve the data inconsistency. See also: Checking and Updating LookUp Tables.

    End of the note.

If you remove the check mark in the check box Display current client (nnn) only, the five queues for all the defined clients are displayed.

The status of the Queue Demon is also displayed. This starts and checks the processing of the entries in the queues. It is client-independent, and calls the required function modules via RFC destinations. You can start or stop the queue demon, using the appropriate functions in the menu or application tool bar.

Activities

Set Status

By setting the corresponding icon in the status column of a queue, or by selecting the relevant queue and choosing Release Queue or Stop Queue, you can:

  • Release queues for processing by setting their status to Released (yellow traffic light)

  • Reset released queues to Hold (red light)

  • Interrupt queue processing (status Running - green light) by setting the status to Hold

If you interrupt queue processing, the processing of the current entry is completed and then the queue is set to status Hold.

The Queue Demon automatically sets the status to Hold if an error occurs during processing. In the last column, the error icon Alert (Alert) then appears, which you can click to display the corresponding error message (you can also choose Show Queue Alert). When you release the queue again, the error status is reset.

If you release a queue after the Queue Demon has started, the status of the queue changes to Running, provided it contains entries for processing. If all entries have been processed (number of entries is zero), the status changes back to Released.

You can use the Delete (Delete) icon to delete the entire contents of a queue.

Display Entries

If a queue contains entries, you can display details of the individual entries (for example, the number of sites affected) by:

  • Double-clicking the name of the queue

  • Double-clicking the number of entries

  • Selecting a queue and choosing Show Queue Entries

In this display, you can then:

  • Limit the number of entries displayed, in the field Maximum entries to display

  • Filter for the message type to be entered, in the field Filter for message type

  • Select the checkbox in the first column of an entry, and choose Delete Selected Entries to delete this entry

  • Choose Delete All Entries to delete all the entries

  • Choose Refresh to update the displayed information

  • Double-click one of the entries, to display information about the respective sites
