Is "COMMIT WORK AND WAIT" a local update task?

[phoenixming0912]

Hi experts,

If an update task was called and then COMMIT WORK AND WAIT.

Is the update task running in current process or in another update process?

It depends, did you call SET UPDATE TASK LOCAL before (no crystal ball available)

• NO - updates will perform in the update work process , but current process will wait til high-priority update function modules (synchronous updating)
• YES - updates will perform in the current work process

I think there is just COMMIT WORK AND WAIT. But in call stack, you can see a LOCAL_UPDATE_TASK, looks like it's a form in COMMIT WORK AND WAIT (if you switch on system debug).

There is also a parameter abap/force_local_update_task = [0,1].

(You mean the form local_update_task of SAPMSSY4)

phoenixming0912 You should verify. Add a breakpoint at SET UPDATE TASK LOCAL early in the execution.

Local update task may also be activated via "call transaction using" with option updmode = 'L'.

The ABAP documentation made by SAP gives all the details.

"update task was called" is not very clear, I guess you mean "CALL FUNCTION ... IN UPDATE TASK ... was done".
