SAP AIF - Automatic Reprocessing

[Former Member]

Hello All,

Does SAP AIF allows automatic reprocessing of Error records (Proxy scenario) ? We have scenarios where Proxy interface failing because of locking error , we would like to reprocess this automatically.

I tried /AIF/REP_AC_DEF and /AIF/REP_AC_ASGN but I can't see any batch job using this to restart the messages.

Can you please provide transaction name and steps to configure this ?

Thanks & Regards,

Dijesh Tanna

Hi,

there are two new Transaction codes (/AIF/REP_AC_DEF and /AIF/REP_AC_ASGN) in the System for the configuration tables of the Automatic Reprocessing.

In the first configuration table /AIF/REP_AC_DEF it is possible to define the Reprocessing Action. One reprocessing action will be delivered for automatically restart the maintained error messages. The function module will be /AIF/RESTART.

You can set up the Runtime Configuration Group via Transaction /AIF/PERS_CGR.

The used Runtime Configuration Group should be active and use Run Scheduled.

Example Configuration Group:

In the second configuration table /AIF/REP_AC_ASGN it is possible to register the AIF
Interface and the corresponding single error messages (by message class and
number, e.g. R1/084 = “Business Partner &1 is Currently Being Processed By
&2”) for automatic reprocessing. In this configuration table, it will also
be possible to define a minimum waiting time, maximum waiting time and the
number of restart trials.

I hope this will help you. 

Thanks and regards,

Nicole

Hello Nicole,

I couldn't found the function module /AIF/RESTART in our system. Instead there are two function modules as below :

/AIF/ERROR_UTIL_PROXY_RESTART

/AIF/IDOC_RESTART

I used /AIF/ERROR_UTIL_PROXY_RESTART in my config. See attached screenshots. However, no jobs were triggered. I am wondering if there is any additional config I need to do for scheduling background jobs.

Let me know if my configuration is wrong.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi,

there was a little mistake in my answer. Please use the function module /AIF/RESTART_MSG.

You can check the generated job in the transaction sm37. The name of the generated job should be started with /AIF/<Namespace Configuraion Group>_<Configuration ID>.

Maybe you could also check the transaction st22 if there are any errors occur.

Which SP Level is installed on your system?

Thanks and regards,

Nicole

Hello Nicole,

Thanks , it is working now.

I was wondering if we want to process all the messages irrespective of error code , which error code we should use in transaction /n/AIF/REP_AC_ASGN.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi,

the automatic reprocessing is triggered by certain error messages for a registered AIF interface.

So the user has to register the AIF Interface and the corresponding single error messages by message class and number for automatic reprocessing in the transaction /AIF/REP_AC_ASGN.

Best regards,

Hello Nicole,

We have configured automatic reprocessing for proxy inbound scenario as described by you and set the Intermediate status "In Process" in transaction /AIF/REP_AC_ASGN. However, alerts are being raised even when first time message goes in error.

Automatic reprocessing works well but we don't want alerts to be triggered until all reprocessing attempts fails.

Is there something wrong in my configuration. Please note that message status in Interface monitoring always goes in "Application Error" status & not in "In Process" status when such locking error occurs.
