If you lock the integration engine, the messages will be queued up.

SXMB_ADM -> IE configuration

Category - Runtime

Parameters- ENTRY_LOCK

Set value to 1 to lock the IE.

Just curious, why do you want to do this? Do you want to check anything in specific?

Thanks for the reply.

if we have to take down the SAP system for some reason, and dont want to lose the incoming messages.Idea is to queue up the inbound messages in XI until the system is back.

Thanks

There is a procedure to be followed for stopping and starting of XI application -

This prevents loosing of messages during downtime.

If you are talking about communication between ECC (or R3) and XI, what type of communication is it? e.g. if it is Idoc, messages will anyway stay in the tRFC queues.

In case the target system is down, note that any asyn message received within PI will be retained in PI. (no additional conf. required)

By default PI will try to resend the message to the target automatically after which it will se tit to system error.

you can the manually reprocess these messages once the target system is back up.

Hi bobby9,

why you go for stopping system and all. You can go for alert configuration right?? So that you can able to resend the files which are not delivered. In case of asynchronous mode no need to worry about receiver system.. File will be received after receiver side is working fine.. you can also check for message status @ SXMB_MONI..
