 Processing Control Locate this document in the navigation structure

Use

You use processing control to:

  • Trigger expected event monitoring so that SAP Event Management (SAP EM) reacts accordingly (for example, sends an alert)

  • Trigger subsequent processing of unprocessed event messages for locked event handlers

  • Trigger the subsequent addition of an event handler to a locked event handler set

  • Resend application object data for event handlers.

    When you try to update event handler data by sending application objects to SAP EM, it may be the case that the event handler is locked by other processing (for example, momentary processing of an event message).

    To ensure that the system updates the event handler with the data sent once the lock is released, it temporarily stores the data in a database table (buffer).

    This background job checks at regular intervals if data is contained in the database table and then tries to process it. It updates the event handler that was previously locked with this data, if necessary.

  • Delete networks in the document flow .

A higher-level interface is available for all these SAP EM background jobs where you can schedule the monitoring and processing of the respective objects.
