Channel active | BAL Channel is active (cloud interface active/inactive). The field is set to true by default and should not be deactivated. | |||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Stop comm. | Stop channel communication. Activating this field will stop channel processing with message ‘The Channel is not active - raising the error’ (idocs will not be transferred to SAP FSM). | |||||||||
Unconf.IdocsAge | Take unconfirmed Idoc for the last XX (Days) into account. The default value is ‘30’ days. | |||||||||
| This parameter is used in the two scenarios.
| |||||||||
Don't save Logs | No Log will be saved if check box is marked (Logs to be found in transaction SLG1) | |||||||||
No Log Fullsync | When the Fullsync operation is performed, no persistent logs are generated. | |||||||||
Reduce E4C Log | Reduce E4C log. | |||||||||
No "U/" | When the users are sent from SAP to the Cloud and the users correspond to the SAP Users, the default implementation of E4C adds a prefix "U/". This makes sense, the usernames (sometimes generated from the SAP Users, sometimes from Personal Numbers) to be unique. However, it can be inconvenient to use. The username can be renamed when granting the authorizations. But if they are not renamed, then the usernames including this prefix must be entered while logging in. If you check this switch on, the usernames based on the SAP users sent from SAP to the cloud will not contain this prefix. | |||||||||
Use cloud user | If switched on the SAP user of the cloud user is used to post changes in SAP whenever technical possible. Otherwise the technical user executing the IDOCs is used for postings and will appear in change documents. Please note that in case where the users are created just with Personal number without ERPUSER marking this option will lead to an error in processing idocs such as "No user found". | |||||||||
Check event queue | E4C creates during saving of different relevant objects events. These events are either directly updated in dialogue mode or stored in the event queue. In the case of selecting event queue following settings are verified: Directly at the beginning of the updating it is checked if further events belonging to the same object exist, if so creation of the event is stopped. | |||||||||
Hash algorithm | Definition of HASH algorithm to be used for HASH-comparison. | |||||||||
Wait time lock (obsolete) | Wait time for E4C lock in seconds. | |||||||||
EQ.Hist.act | The checklists, which are bound to the equipment via the GOS Link, will be also presented as the documents in the Serial Number History. | |||||||||
VKPB active | When the price calculation is performed using the transaction VKPB (Run new price calculation), then the materials involved in this calculation will be sent to the Cloud as a side effect. Once the material data is sent to the Cloud, the price of the material is sent as well. So, if the execution of the VKPB changes the material price, the updated price will be sent to the Cloud as well. | |||||||||
Field name in ConfNo | A field in COBL Structure (an append field or a standard field) which can be used when the service order confirmation is created. It allows the costs analysis to be related to the operations of the service orders. It is used also by the Confirmation Cockpit – the link between the CO document and the operation of the service order. | |||||||||
ImageConversion | How to convert pictures when printing them as part of a Checklist. This is because SAP can only work with 256 colours in a Smartform.
| |||||||||
Image Magic folder | Path to find the conversion tool for pictures | |||||||||
FSM Activity (obsolete) | This is to set so that custom activity from the connector is used (also known as E4C activity) instead of the standard sales activity (CAS). From
| |||||||||
HR travel expense | Necessary for expenses to be properly posted to travels when using E4C activities (based on customizing in /PACG/ECM_VEXPNS – Expenses Customizing ).
| |||||||||
BP used | This field indicates whether BP transaction is in use.
| |||||||||
DMS active (obsolete) |
DMS Active flag. | |||||||||
Check queue | Check for queue gap and resend | |||||||||
Stop low at / Rel. low at | If the standard queue is in processing (queue has no stop entry) the system checks the amount of entries in the queue. If the amount is equal or bigger than the ‘Stop low at’ value, the low priority queue should be stopped (only if the queue is not already stopped). If the amount of entries is equal or smaller than the ‘Rel. low at’ value, the low priority queue will be released (only if the queue is stopped). If one of the values is empty the new functionality is deactivated. The second value needs to be smaller than the first one. | |||||||||
Incoming confirmation | Specify which queue will be used for processing of inbound confirmations. Technical note Such confirmations are generated after transferring an object to SAP FSM and are handled by function /PACG/ECM_X_IDOCCONF. They are necessary for an outbound idoc to be set to status 41. Inbound confirmations used to be processed by queue /PACG/ECM_STD_IN. The current options include:
This additional field is ‘bgRFC destination name’ as defined with SBGRFCCONF transaction. ‘bgRFC destination‘ is a mandatory parameter required for processing to start. | |||||||||
Outbound confirmation | Specify which queue will be used for processing of outbound confirmations. The options include:
| |||||||||
| When enabled then Connector can use so called express queue. This queue works in such a way that if any object is added to it all the other Connector related queues are stopped to make a space for this one to process. When express queue is emptied then FSM Connector restarts previously blocked queue. Objects can be added to the express queue with the BAdI /PACG/ECM_IDOC_EXP_QUEUE. The BAdI has only one method SET_EXP_QUEUE which, based on received data, decides if message should be added to express queue or not. | |||||||||
Incoming message | Specify which queue will be used for processing of inbound messages. Inbound messages used to be processed by queue /PACG/ECM_STD_IN. The current options include:
| |||||||||
Inbound queue | If checked, inbound idocs will be created and processed using the inbound queue (SMQ2), instead of the outbound queue (SMQ1). Inbound confirmations will also be processed using the inbound queue.
BAdI for parallelization of inbound processing Implement BAdI /PACG/ECM_IN_QUEUE to create more than one queue for inbound idoc processing. The BAdI can change queue name based on company ID and idoc content. | |||||||||
Bulk processing | When this function is enabled XML objects created based on the outbound IDocs are combined together and sent to Message Broker in a single call. The number of XML packed together is controlled by the value of Trans/LUW parameter | |||||||||
| Enable use of the failover mechanism with the message broker | |||||||||
No lock event | Do not use lock in service order event. During processing of the service order event, a lock with the order number can be set in a subsidiary table. If the lock is set and the next event for the same order is triggered, then the second one waits until the first one is processed. | |||||||||
| During inbound processing, FM /PACG/ECM_S_INPUT responsible for initial FSM message handling, is called by default without destination specified. This means that tRFC with destination NONE is used, which can cause performance issues (destination NONE can be used by various other processes, it can cause delay of even 15 minutes and cause transporter to resend a message to SAP). To limit negative impact on inbound processing performance, enter in the hereby described field the name of an internal or logical RFC Connection (Destination) dedicated to FSM Cloud Connector processes. The RFC Connection should be created and adjusted performance-wise beforehand in transaction SM59.
| |||||||||
| During inbound processing, web service function module /PACG/ECM_S_INPUT is called by default in background task. This is because FSM Cloud Connector tries to minimize the synchronous part of the call. On certain landscapes synchronous processing of IDocs however may prove to be more efficient. Enable this field to activate synchronous processing of inbound messages.
On a reference system, synchronous idoc processing allowed for processing of ca. 4 messages/second. | |||||||||
| Allow transfer of employees (personnel numbers) who are not supposed to be FSM users (i.e. are not added in /PACG/ECM_MAINT_USER - FSM users). Such employees are sent only as employee records, visible in FSM master data. No account-level user is created for them (therefore licence is not consumed).
Automatic transfer of non-FSM-user employees when added as responsible person of service calls This option triggers automatic transfer of the employee (personnel number) used as responsible of a service call - if it hasn’t been sent before. Example use case: a service order has a responsible person assigned to it (a personnel number). This person has nothing to do with FSM and should not be able to log in/consume licence. However their name/surname must still be visible in FSM on service call level. They cannot be added to /PACG/ECM_MAINT_USER - FSM users because this would create an account-level user and consume another licence. If this checkbox is activated, personnel numbers used by service orders (and not added to the user maintainance transaction) will be automatically transferred to FSM and exist as employee master data (with no corresponding FSM user). Manual transfer of non-FSM-user employee If the hereby described option is enabled, transaction /PACG/ECM_EMPL – Employee displays an additional checkbox - ‘Per w/o FSMUser’. When activated, employees not added as FSM-relevant users will also be transferred to FSM. This double-check is necessary to avoid transfer of too many objects. | |||||||||
| When enabled, breaks will not be included in time effort’s/work time’s duration during split calculation.
