Bulk cancel of Acknowledgment Messages

[CRitsema]

Hi,

We have a lot of Acknowledgment Messages which erred out before we figured out how to disable the automatic creation of these acknowledgments.

SXMB_MONI has an "Advanced Selection Criteria" parameter called: "With Acknowledgment Messages" which allows me to see these errors and manually cancel. But this would take some time to do this manually.

I'm familiar with report RSXMB_CANCEL_MESSAGES for bulk canceling of of error messages. However, RSXMB_CANCEL_MESSAGES has no similar kind of advanced selection criteria and seems to ignore acknowledgment error messages - does not find them anyway when I try to run it.

Are there any other options for bulk cancel of these kind of messages? Archive/Delete will not get rid of them unless I first cancel them.

Thanks,

Craig

Maybe this helps some people.

I could delete those messages in a very non-obvious way:

- Set retention time low enough

- Go to SXMB_MONI and select the messages to be deleted. Wait until they appear on the screen.

- Execute report RSXMB_DELETE_MESSAGES

Strange enough, but the system will delete the selected messages then. I've verified this in IDoc scenarios under PI 7.11 EhP 4 at least.

Sorry - Sender is R/3 idoc. Receiver is JDBC/SQL Server.

We did figure out how to disable these ack's from being created. However, before doing so we accumulated a large number of these and they are now taking up space in the db.

Hi Craig,

unfortunately you give us less information about your sceario. If the receiver is IDoc, you can stop acknowledgements with report IDX_NOALE.

Hi Craig,

go to SXMB_ADM Configuration of Integration Engine / spec parameter. Configure with parameter deletion (click on the "i" for explanations) how long messages should stay in database, later schedule concrete programs in SXMB_ADM / schedule delete jobs.
