Extend execution of ABAP programs - function module TH_REDISPATCH

[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

Does anyone now where I can find documentation for FM TH_REDISPATCH?

When this FM is called, Does it really forces a commit work?

I have already read note 25528, but I need more information.

Thanks in advance and regards!

The note you quote says that it forces a commit, so what's the problem??

You can look for other notes, do a where used list and look at the source code. There doesn't seem to be any documentation (even in German).

TH_REDISPATCH is internally used by SAP to prevent a long running work process (especially online processes) from getting timed out.

TH_REDISPATCH is part of task handler functions. Other functions in the group like TH_WPINFO lists the work processes run on an application server in real time (used by transaction SM51). I often use TH_WPINFO to see what db activity a running job is currently doing (what we see in SM51 against a process). As SM51 access is normally not provided in production TH_WHPINFO comes handy.
