Outbound XML gets triggered automatically for every minute

[rajukammella]

Hi Together,

we have SAP TM 9.5 integrated to ECC. After creating Freight Booking in TM, we do a Follow-Up to create shipment in ECC system. When we receive the acknowledgment from ECC, we trigger delivery update through interface OutboundDeliveryUpdateRequest_Out (basically for updating the bill of lading on deliveries in ECC).

This update happens through a PPF action maintained and for the defined conditions of the action.

Now, while doing this, i found that the XML for this interface is being triggering for around every 1 minute until the status of the booking goes to a different state i.e.until when the PPF action condition fails, else the system keeps on sending the XMLs to ECC.

i have checked all the background jobs (preferably the one's running at every 1 minute) and couldn't find any relation with the interface used.

I am not aware how to check how and why this interface is being triggered. Is there a way in which i can troubleshoot this issue ?

Appreciate your time and help.

Thanks.

The issue was due to a bug in a custom program which triggers the sub-contracting requests on the Freight order. during which, the freight orders sub-contracting status was being changed every-time and saved even when the particular orders or not sent for sub-contracting. Due to this, the PPF action was always triggered and made the delivery updates triggered to all the freight orders which satisfy the PPF condition.

This is not fault in any standard funcitonality.

Hi Raju,

Can you please check whether the /SCMTMS/PROCESS_TRIGGER_BGD is running regularily? The mentioned message is triggered when the planning is done.
