Configure Message PackagingLocate this document in the navigation structure

Use

You can configure message packaging so that it suits your requirements. To do so, you define configuration types that you then assign to the different locations where message packaging can be used.

These are the seven locations in pipeline processing where packages can be created.

To make a global package configuration such as this more specific, you can assign a configuration type not just to a specific message packaging location, but also to a specific sender or receiver ID. This configuration type is then applied instead of the global configuration for those messages that correspond to this sender or receiver ID.

This method enables you to also deactivate message packaging for specific receivers.

Note

If you have created multiple package configurations, it is always the one that is most specific that is applied.

More information: Configuration Types .

Create a Configuration Type

To create configuration types, use transaction SXMS_BCM.

  1. Call transaction SXMS_BCM and switch to change mode.
  2. Create a new configuration type by using one of the following two methods:
    • Use the DEFAULT configuration type and modify it to meet your requirements
    • Add a new entry
Assign a Configuration Type

To assign a configuration type to a packaging location, use transaction SXMS_BCONF.

  1. Call transaction SXMS_BCONF and switch to change mode.
  2. Select the required packaging location and assign it the required configuration type.
  3. To make a receiver-specific assignment, select the required packaging location with a configuration type already assigned, and choose Specific Package Configuration in the dialog structure.
  4. Select the required packaging location again, as well as the other configuration type and the receiver for which messages with the configuration type you selected are to be packaged differently to the defined global configuration.
Deactivate Message Packaging for Particular Receivers

To deactivate message packaging for particular receivers, proceed as follows:

  1. If one does not already exist, create a receiver ID for the required receiver.

    More information: Defining Sender/Receiver IDs

  2. Call transaction SXMB_BCONF.
  3. Select the required packaging location and then choose Specific Package Configuration in the dialog structure.
  4. Select the required packaging location again and the receiver for which message packaging is to be deactivated.
  5. Select NO as the configuration type.

    You cannot modify the NO configuration type and if you apply it, no packages are created.
