Postprocessing - background processing - Still running!!!

Hi All

I think I am having a small problem with this task 'Postprocessing - background processing' during the Postprocessing Phase. Basically on previous runs, this task has finished quite quickly however during this next run it is taking hours. I have restarted this phase and it does not seem to finish.

I have checked SM66 to see if anything is running and there is nothing there. All of the other processes have finished successfully, just not sure about this one.

Has anyone had this issue before or can you give me an insight to what it is doing?

Thanks in advance

Phil

Hi Phil,

The task 'Postprocessing - background processing' is actually made of several tasks (switch to Extended View to be able to expand them). Which of the sub-tasks is running?

Have you checked SM66 in all systems (tdms, sender, receiver) ?

The process that are involved in the task are:

Reset Internal Header Tables After the Transfer - Complete

Postprocessing - background processing - This one has not completed

Transfer of Number Range Intervals - Complete

Reset Number Range and Table Buffers in Receiver System - Complete

Delete Generated Views - Complete

Adjust User Addresses - Complete

Update SAPOffice - Complete

Execute Initialization for POS Handling - Complete

Change Logical System Names - Complete

Unlock Users in Receiver System - Complete

Refresh Data Selection Cluster of Current Transfer - Complete

I am just curious to know what it does, also these is nothing happening in any of the systems.

Thanks

"Postprocessing - background processing" is not actually a task, it is there only to group the sub-tasks (from "Transfer of Number Range Intervals" to "Change Logical System Names"). When you execute it, it will run all the sub-tasks (in the Standard View this complexity is hidden, so you don't even see there are sub-tasks).

If the sub-tasks are all Complete then there is nothing left to do. It is normal that there is no State icon for that grouping task, or that Progress is 0. If you execute it again you are running all the sub-tasks once again (you probably received a pop-up to confirm that's what you wanted). In that case, the column "Exec No" in the sub-tasks probably shows that some were executed more than once (some are repeatable and some are not).

Hope this helps,

Goto the extended view and see against which step you have the truck icon.

If in SM66 no entry exists,then check the job logs to see if any job failed in either Control/Receiver system

If all the steps within "Postprocessing - background processing" have a yellow or green,you are good to go...It might be an issue with the status maintainence of that step.
