deleting old messages problem (adapter status 001)

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am trying to delete old messages, and some of them are staying in system. Here is the result of 'RSXMB_SHOW_STATUS' report:

Message Status

...

Message Status: 003 Number: 85.274

...

Adapter Status of Messages with Message Status: 003

Adapter Status: 000 Number: 4.040

Adapter Status: 001 Number: 74.290

Adapter Status: 002 Number: 0

Adapter Status: 003 Number: 0

Adapter Status: 004 Number: 0

Adapter Status: 005 Number: 0

Adapter Status: 006 Number: 4.806

Adapter Status: 007 Number: 2.122

Adapter Status: 008 Number: 6

Adapter Status: 009 Number: 0

Adapter Status: 010 Number: 0

Adapter Status > 010 Number: 0

So, there is 74.290 messages whith 001 status in adapter. Archieve and delete jobs don't want to delete them, and status isn't going to change. Refreshing adapter status did help with most of messages but 74.290 is what still there after refresh. Any ideas how to bring them to final state or may be its possible delete them in this state?

Please see SAP Note 872388. It basically states that if you find any Messages in Adapter Status 001 or 008 then the following job needs to be scheduled: SXMS_REFRESH_ADAPTER_STATUS. 001 Adapter Status is u201CMessage scheduled on the Outbound sideu201D This job will update the status to either 006 (Message Successful) or 007 (Message has error).

Thanks,

As i said

Refreshing adapter status did help with most of messages but 74.290 is what still there after refresh.

I have SXMS_REFRESH_ADAPTER_STATUS scheduled, it runs every hour. But it dosn't touch those 74.290 messages in 001 status.

Hi,

Above Messages are related to your IDoc and BPM related interfaces...

so you need to schedule a report which does the deletion of the same...

Check the reports scheduled are running or not...

I dont remeber the reports which does the job of changing the status...

What do you meen by "does the deletion of the same..."?

Archieving and deleting jobs are running every day, and they actually do delete most of the messages but not all of them.
