Certain monitoring processes such as idoc reprocessing or queue monitoring can be automated to reduce manual effort.

Reprocessing of unprocessed IDOCs

Panel

bgColor#FFFAE6

Certain IDOCs fail because of object lock, e.g. locked service order or CATS. This prevents an idoc from being successfully processed at a given moment and keeps the related object locked in FSM. The issue does not require any customizing/master data adjustment. An administrator can simply re-process such idocs manually later (e.g. in /PACG/ECM_COCKPIT - FSM Connector Cockpit). It’s recommended however to automate it by scheduling a periodic BG job.

Execute a few times a day (not more often than hourly) for FSM Cloud Connector-related idocs (MESSAGE TYPE /PACG/ECM*) with status 51 created in the last 24-48 hours

Queue monitoring

FSM Cloud Connector-related queues should be monitored on a regular basis to ensure the communication between SAP and FSM is undisrupted. An administrator/BASIS consultant could monitor queues using standard SAP transactions SMQ1 and SMQ2. It’s recommended however to automate this process by using the dedicated queue monitoring program and scheduling a periodic BG job. If you want to trigger automatic activation of queues via BB job, wherever possible, see also: Restart queues via BG job (program /PACG/ECM_RESTART_QUEUES)

Program /PACG/ECM_QSTATUS, transaction /PACG/ECM_QSTATUS - Email queue issues

Hourly for FSM Cloud Connector-related queues with statuses SYSFAIL, CPICERR, STOPPING, STOP, NOSENDS. Optionally for READY, WAITING, WAITSTOP with min. lifetime of e.g. 15 min.

Table deletion

Tables storing technical data can quickly grow and hence should be reduced regularly in order to optimize performance.

Note

For the first-time deletion, it’s recommended to split the deletion process into a few parts, based on age.

Administration activity

Program

Interval / range

Delete entries from table /PACG/ECM_MIDMAP - Mapping of the message ID to the idoc number

Program /PACG/ECM_DELETE_MIDMAP, transaction /PACG/ECM_DEL_MIDMAP - Delete table /PACG/ECM_MIDMAP

Entries can be deleted if older than the number of days set in /PACG/ECM_CPROP - General Properties of FSM Cloud Connector, field Unconf.IdocsAge. Learn more: https://proaxia-prod-doc.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PFCC/pages/75464857/PACG+ECM+DEL+MIDMAP+-+Delete+table+PACG+ECM+MIDMAP#Execution-recommendations

Delete entries from table /PACG/ECM_EOBREF - SAP -> external object reference

Program /PACG/ECM_DELETE_EOBREF, transaction /PACG/ECM_DEL_EOBREF - Delete table /PACG/ECM_EOBREF

Delete entries older than a year.

Delete entries from table /PACG/ECM_MSIDIM - Incoming message mapping

Program /PACG/ECM_DELETE_MSIDIM, transaction /PACG/ECM_DEL_MSIDIM - Delete table /PACG/ECM_MSIDIM

Delete entries without error status after 2 days.

Delete entries from table /PACG/ECM_ARMAT - E4C: Reseved Materials Stock.

Info

For SD reserved materials on activity level, see also deletion report for table /PACG/ECM_RESBVB: Delete entries from table /PACG/ECM_RESBVB

Program /PACG/ECM_DELETE_ARMAT, transaction /PACG/ECM_DEL_ARMAT - Delete table /PACG/ECM_ARMAT

Preferably, delete entries based on order status (relevant for business process completion).

Delete FSM Logs

Program /PACG/ECM_FSMLGH_DELETE, transaction /PACG/ECM_LOG_DELETE - Delete FSM logs or SBAL_DELETE, transaction SLG2 - Application Log: Delete logs, depending on settings in /PACG/ECM_CUSLOG, field Log Type

Delete entries older than 3 months or according to your company rules for data retention

Delete unneeded IDOCs (and idoc data for the Cockpit in table /PACG/ECM_CIDOCS)

Panel

Once the FSM Cloud Connector IDOCs have been successfully processed or sent, they are not needed in the system much longer. It is up to the Administrator whether they will stay on the system or will be archived with other IDOCs or old FSM Cloud Connector IDOCs will be just deleted.

For idoc deletion, use WE11. Learn more: Deleting unneeded IDOCs

For deletion of idoc data used by /PACG/ECM_

COCKPIT

COCKPIT2 - FSM Connector Cockpit, see program /PACG/ECM_DELETE_CIDOCS, transaction /PACG/ECM_DEL_CIDOCS - Delete table /PACG/ECM_CIDOCS

Delete entries older than 3 months or according to your company rules for data retention

Delete entries from table /PACG/ECM_ALTEW - Not booked Time Effort and Work Time

Program /PACG/ECM_DELETE_ALTEW, transaction /PACG/ECM_DEL_ALTEW - Delete table /PACG/ECM_ALTEW

The table stores all inbound time efforts therefore can grow to significant size. Deletion frequency and criteria should depend on whether time efforts are updated in FSM after synchronization (see Time efforts updated in SAP FSM) and whether the functionality of parking is used (see /PACG/ECM_POST_TIMEF - Rebooking of not booked Work Time and Time Effort).

Delete entries from table /PACG/ECM_CIDOCS - Cockpit relevant Idocs

Program /PACG/ECM_DELETE_CIDOCS, transaction /PACG/ECM_DEL_CIDOCS - Delete table /PACG/ECM_CIDOCS

Idoc data is written to this table during inbound/outbound idoc processing, so that it can be later used by https:/

PACG/ECM_COCKPIT2 - FSM Connector Cockpit (new)

/proaxia-prod-doc.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PFCC/pages/1883766798. Delete entries with the same interval as idocs.

Delete entries from table /PACG/ECM_DEL_APRES - Complex Pers. Reservations from FSM

Panel

bgColor#FFFAE6

Entries in this table are created only if person reservations created in FSM:

  1. are stored in SAP as CATS entries (see ‘PR source' in transaction /PACG/ECM_CPERR - Person reservation - general setting )

  2. are longer than 1 day

Program /PACG/ECM_DELETE_APRES, transaction /PACG/ECM_DEL_APRES - Delete table /PACG/ECM_APRES

The interval depends on the number of reservations longer than a day and saved as CATS

Delete entries from table /PACG/ECM_DELEVT - Deletion Requests Information Table

Program /PACG/ECM_DELETE_DELEVT, transaction /PACG/ECM_DEL_DELEVT - Delete table /PACG/ECM_DELEVT

Archiving

Archiving certain objects, such as FSM Activities or Message Broker logs, is a safer solution than permanent deletion.

FSM Activity objects can be archived. The solution provides three programs to write archive file, delete data from SAP DB and restore data into DB. If Activities should be deleted instead, use program /PACG/ECM_DELETE_OLD_ACT_CHK / transaction /PACG/ECM_DEL_OLD_AC - Delete activities

/PACG/ECM_ARC_DLT_E4CACT. Learn more: Custom Data Archiving - E4C activities

If arrival date should be calculated for reserved materials and displayed in FSM, a dedicated tool has to calculate it regularly
