BBP_EXTREQ_TRANSFER fails if SMQ2 or SMQ1 Queues have errors

[Former Member]

We are using the standard functionality to send Plant Maintenance Orders from R/3 to SRM. Our current landscape is SRM 5.0 and R/3 4.6C. When the queues SMQ1 (Outbound R/3 Queue) or SMQ2 (Inbound SRM) Queues have other errors, not related to external requirements (e.g. , READ_OBJCL), the external requirements fail. If we clear out both queues this works. Are others having this same problem? If so, how do you handle this in production? What do you use to monitor these queues?

Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Sabina,

Errors in BBP_EXTREQ_TRANSFER should not happen.

If You want, You may write simple report using table ARFCSSTATE.

This table contains all entries of qRFC. Use ARFCSTATE = 'SYSFAIL' and 'ARFCNAM = 'BBP_EXTREQ_TRANSFER' to check errors in transfer.

Marcin,

I agree that we should NOT have errors in BBP_EXTREQ_TRANSFER and we don't. However, if there are 'other' errors in the queue (SMQ1 or SMQ2) then BBP_EXTREQ_TRANSFER fails and does result in an error. Do you have a similar problem?

Hi,

Yes, I have similar problem but frequency of this kind of problems are about 0-2 per month (eg. new material, don't have proper PGroup maintained). Our basis team and react very fast.
