During SAP outages,XI unable to send the IDoc to SAP System.

[Former Member]

Hi

We have an interface in XI which posts IDoc to SAP .

In the inbound side XI polls the database and executes a query.

But during SAP outages ( Planned/unplanned) though XI executes SQL and process the messages successfully the message fails in the outbound side as SAP is not available.( Column 'c' will be marked with red flag)

Is there any way we can queue up the messages till SAP is available and post the IDocs.

Presently we have to either resend the message from the source system or using

Run time workbench and payload post the IDoc manually.

I guess there could be some settings in the J2EE stack if done can help with.

My environment is XI 3.0 SP14.

Please suggest a feasible solutions.

Thanks in advance,

Hi,

if the quality of service is EO then your idoc is stuck in sm58 and you can force the idoc to be delivered once SAP will come back available.

You can schedule the report RSARFCEX that does exactly this task.

Normally this job is scheduled to run every 5 minutes.

This should solve your problem.

Btw, I suggest you to additionally have a look at this blog <a href="/people/sap.user72/blog/2005/11/29/xi-how-to-re-process-failed-xi-messages-automatically">XI : How to Re-Process failed XI Messages Automatically</a>.
