GENPC in ESTOH table not geting updated while creating report.

[Former Member]

Hi Guys,

I am trying to create a report but once the report is created it is going to generation running status.

I checked table ESTOH where all the item comes once areport is created. There is a field called GENPC in ESTOH table which logically should get filled with the Generation server automaticallly.

The issue is that field is not geting updated with server value.

But if i edit the table and fill the field GENPC with server name , it is then getting prcessed correctly and report is getiing generated.

My question is why GENPC in table ESTOH is not getting updated automatically when a report is created.

HI Christoph,,

Thanks for you explanation. The error was happening because the dispatcher job was not correctly configured.

After correcting that MSDS are getting processed normally

Hello Anoop,

could you please indicate which release you are using (ECC 6.0 with or without activated Enh.PAck 3).

Are the WWI Work Processes running as scheduled (work processes ?); is the dispatcher running normally ?

Have you checked transaction CG5Z ? Here you should see immediately which generation server should generate the WWI document.

Normally it is like you have explained. You generate a report (from g02) and in the background the dispatcher dispatches this to a WWI work process which takes over the further activities. Then the data is collected and passed on to the WWI server. THen the report is build and the WWI document is passed back to SAP R/3. Im an not sure at which point of time the WWI document get the "unique id" in DMS (what means is the number generated before the WWI is asked to generate something or is it generated if the document has been passed bacK.

Do you have the problem always with the same generation server? Is this always the same specification and generation variant language combination?

During the process the normal status net is used. If you check Cg50 you should be able to control the progress of generation.

The normal status net is like this:

SW => RR => GP => GS => CO => RE => HI (refer to http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/en/a7/288aa30a6c11d28a220000e829fbbd/frameset.htm

Example of a Status Network for Reports )

If you have the status "generation possible" and nothing is happening any more in most case there is some trouble with SAP => RFC => WWI destination.

Therefore check in additiion WWI version, RFC connections etc.

With best regards

C.B.
