If you have
LiveCompare Administrator privileges, an RFC Destination object in the LiveCompare
hierarchy may be configured to retrieve short dump data from its associated
SAP system. LiveCompare Editors may also configure RFC Destinations to
retrieve short dump data if this has been permitted by your installation.
Short dump data retrieved for an RFC Destination
may be accessed using the Read
Short Dump Data action in one or more workflows.
Retrieving Short Dump Data
Immediately
To retrieve short dump data for an RFC Destination
immediately, carry out the following steps:
Select
an RFC Destination from the Administration/RFC Destinations folder in
the LiveCompare hierarchy.
In
the RFC Destination’s SDD tab,
specify how many months of data to retain by entering a value (n) between
0 and 99 in the ‘Keep this many months of data:’ field.
Click
‘Update Data’. The most recent <n> months of short dump data are
retrieved, and any previous short dump data stored for the RFC Destination
is overwritten.
Retrieving Short Dump Data
Using a Schedule
To retrieve short dump data for an RFC Destination
using a schedule, carry out the following steps:
Select
an RFC Destination from the Administration/RFC Destinations folder in
the LiveCompare hierarchy.
In
the RFC Destination’s SDD tab, complete the fields in the Scheduling section
as follows:
Field
Description
Update SDD data according to this schedule:
Select this
check box to enable the schedule, or clear the check box to disable it.
A schedule may not be modified unless it is enabled.
Run at daily
this time:
Enter a run
time for the schedule.
Keep this many months of data:
Enter a value (n) between 0 and 99 to specify
how many months of data to retain. When the schedule runs, the most recent
<n> months of short dump data is retrieved, and any previous short
dump data stored for the RFC Destination is overwritten.
Click
‘Save Schedule’ to save the schedule.
Deleting Short Dump Data
To delete the short dump data retrieved for an RFC Destination,
click ‘Delete’ data in the RFC Destination’s SDD tab. A confirmation dialog
is displayed.
Data Summary
The SDD tab’s Data Summary section lists the number of
short dump header and detail data available to LiveCompare, the time when
the short dump data was updated, the start date for the retrieval of the
data, and the number of months of data requested.
The scheduling details and the short dump data retrieved
in the SDD tab are associated with the RFC Destination, and not with a
particular LiveCompare user. If a user updates or deletes the retrieved
data or modifies the schedule, the changes will be reflected for all users
who have access to the RFC Destination.
