Retrieving UPL Data
If you have LiveCompare Administrator privileges, an RFC Destination object in the LiveCompare hierarchy may be configured to retrieve UPL data from its associated SAP system. LiveCompare Editors may also configure RFC Destinations to retrieve UPL data if this has been permitted by your installation.
UPL data retrieved for an RFC Destination may be accessed using the Read UPL Data action in one or more workflows.
Retrieving UPL Data Immediately
To retrieve UPL 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 UPL 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 UPL data are retrieved.
Retrieving UPL Data Using a Schedule
To retrieve UPL 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 UPL tab, complete the fields in the Scheduling section as follows:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Update UPL 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 daily at 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 UPL data is retrieved. |
- Click ‘Save Schedule’ to save the schedule.
Deleting UPL Data
To delete the UPL data retrieved for an RFC Destination, click ‘Delete’ data in the RFC Destination’s UPL tab. A confirmation dialog is displayed.
Data Summary
The UPL tab’s Data Summary section lists the number of rows of summary and raw UPL data available to LiveCompare, the time when the UPL 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 UPL data retrieved in the UPL 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.
