Monitor and Error Handling 

Use

You can monitor the remodeling using the monitor.

Features

The status of a request and the corresponding steps are displayed in the monitor.

When a remodeling is executed, errors may occur for several reasons:

·        Problems with the database (insufficient tablespace, duplicate keys, partitioning, and so on)

·        Problems with the application server caused by large volumes of data (timeout, and so on)

·        Problems caused by conversion routines

 

In case of error, you have the following options:

 

Restart Request:

You can restart the request by choosing Restart Request in the context menu for the request.

In case the error has occurred at the conversion step and you can rectify the error, for example, if the error has occurred because of the incorrect code in customer exit you have to correct it and then restart the request. It will restart the remodeling request from where it has stopped last time.

Prerequisite:

Before restarting the request, you need to check and clear the error.

The shadow table should exist; If you manually try to activate the InfoProvider after remodeling then the shadow table might get deleted. In such case Restart may not be possible.

Undo:

In case the error has happened at the conversion step and it cannot be rectified, then you can get the infoprovider back to its original form by choosing Undo in the context menu for the request. It will update the metadata, activate the infoprovider and delete the request.

Prerequisite:

The shadow table should exist; If you manually try to activate the InfoProvider after remodeling then the shadow table might get deleted. In such case Restart may not be possible.

Note:

• In case the rule has multiple operations and some of the operations are already finished successfully, it would not be possible to revert those operations.
• In case of remodeling of DSO, if the change log has data and remodeling fails while converting the change log table it may not be possible to recover the change log data. Hence in such case remodeling shows a warning message while performing Check.

Reset Step:

In exceptional cases, it is only possible to reset a single step. In the context menu of one of the steps, choose Reset Step. The reset step is then executed again if the request is restarted.
