What is Tcode sm58

Former Member — Wed, 13 Sep 2006 13:15:43 GMT

Hi gurus,

i want to know about the tcode SM58 in sourcesystem as well as in BW system

1. what role does this play in extraction

2. when does this TRFC comes into picture at what stage like --in delta or full load

3. is this applicable to all kinds of extractions like locockpit, FI, master data

i will be happy if somebody can give me some clear cut idea about this.

thanks n regards

Neel

Hi Neel,

SM58 is "Asynchronous RFC Error Log". I think this does not reflect our extraction TRFC errors since they use synchronous TRFC. If you want to see if any error occurred during the loads, you can see them from your monitor screen itself (Environment -> TRFC -> Source system or BW system). Hope this helps.

Thanks and Regards

Hi guru,

thanks for the info but recently i had a issue with my data load like my ODS is not getting updated when ichecked with this Tcode SM58 i could get an error mssg saying that internal tables were not extended.

Ofcourse i got this tcode from SDN only and i could see the name as Transactional RFC.

thanks and regards

Hi,

Check with your BASIS people and have them extend the internal table space for making sure that your loads succeed. This would be a temporary solution. Your data load is consuming a lot of memory is basically what is says. So, if this is common problem with other loads as well then you need to ask for more table space. If its with a particular or just some loads, then temporarily this'll solve your problems, but in the long term, you need to see how the data is being loaded, where its consuming time, if its getting stuck in some update or transfer rules because of some logic that is in there. You then need to stream line and enhance your data loads to be more efficient.

Hi Kedar,

thanks for the info, exactly as you said we have sent the request to Basis people but i want to know about this Tcode sm58 and find out what exactly does this TRFC do and when does this comes into play its role is it with extraction means does this work as a watchdog to keep an eye on our extraction and log any errors.

so i am a bit confused give me some clear understanding on how this works as well as how to analyze the data loads in sm58

thanks and regards

Hi,

SM58 is used to monitor the data packets coming into BW from the R3 side or from BW to BW. You can see every data packet through this transaction. So if any data packet is stuck in the source system, then you can basically see that from this transaction and take the necessary action to push it through. TRFC is nothing but Transactional RFC which connects the 2 systems and is used for sending data from one system to other.

Hi kedar,

thanks for the wonderful information

so you mean to say that its valid for every load like full or delta,

i understood that it will give the status of the data packages getting updated if any error we can push that from here again...am i right.

thanks and regards

Hi,

It'll be there for any load, full or delta coming from the source system. You can push them manually by clicking on the data packet and then hitting key F6. you can do that for most of the errors, but for say that the background user password has changed or if the user is locked, you need to change that first then reprocess.
